native writing
I'm sending a text to my friend Dina to tell her that I can't show up at 7:00, because there are a lot of traffic right now. This is my text "Sorry Dina, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there at 7 o'clock. There are a lot of traffic in here". Is the sentence correct? Or usually how are we writing in native culture?

There are a lot of traffic here [You don't need 'in']
You want to say that there is a lot of traffic in or around the area where you are.
You could say:
There is a lot of traffic in this area"
"In here" would imply that you are in some sort of enclosed space, like a tunnel.

This is how you write your message: "Sorry Dina, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there at 7 o'clock. There is a lot of traffic here".
Traffic is singular, not plural, because it is not a countable noun.
You could also say it like this: "Sorry Dina, I'm afraid I won't be able to get there by 7:00. I'm stuck in a lot of traffic. I'll probably be an hour late.
