If you wanna try traffic trails, you will need a long exposure set in your camera, possibly in a "bulb mode". You'll surely need a tripod. You can use f8 or f12 or even higher depending on how long the exposure is going to be.

Just curious why you aren't using digital camera. Film cameras are sort of out-of-date nowadays.

Yeah, I think that most profesionals use digital as even the quality and speed are much better than film versions.

I would also suggest to go digital. I'm not sure what film camera would meet your needs, but you can go to a camera store and ask them. They can give you a lot more help than I can.
