Happened to me a few days ago due to a construction zone leading to a stop light. If I saw red, I would shut off the engine. Otherwise, left it in neutral. It was still a painful chunk of time and caused my radiator fan to switch on (SGII showed my water temp at 200F)
In your case because shutting off didn''t sound like an option, I would have shifted into neutral (engine on) when possible and kept my eyes peeled for any changes in traffic around me in case I need to speed up or pull aside.
