This word is made up of 'der Verkehr' (traffic/transport) and 'die Anbindung' (connection). So it describes how well a place is connected to the transport network.
Für Pendler ist eine gute Verkehrsanbindung sehr wichtig.
For commuters, a good transport connection is very important.
The quality of the transport connection is often described with adjectives such as 'gut' (good), 'schlecht' (poor), 'direkt' (direct), 'optimal' (optimal), or 'hervorragend' (excellent).

When you want to say what a place is connected to, you use the preposition 'an' followed by the accusative. You speak of the 'Anbindung an die Autobahn' (connection to the highway) or 'an den öffentlichen Nahverkehr' (to local public transport).

'der Anschluss' and 'die Verkehrsanbindung' can both have to do with transport and connections. An 'Anschluss' is a specific onward connection, for example the train or bus you still need to catch after arriving. 'Verkehrsanbindung' describes more generally how well a place is connected overall by bus, train, roads, or highways. The words can be confused because both talk about accessibility. If it is about a specific onward journey, you say 'Anschluss'. If it is about a place's location and its transport connections, 'Verkehrsanbindung' fits better.
