Well ... "zum Hals heraushängen" is a common thing. It can be used with anything one is fed up with. Here it's traffic jams.
The whole sentence means: I was fed up with traffic jams. Or: I was sick of traffic jams.
As you probably noticed "heraushängen" is a separable verb. :)

Obviously wrong

You‘d usually say „raushängen“ instead of „heraus“. Since this is a colloquialism you will come across this phrase in spoken language only. Here „raus“ replaces „heraus“.
