Answer

No. Peak hour means rush hour. We Brits got in first, there was no need to change a perfectly good phrase.

It makes more sense to Americans because we've come to recognize the word "rush" with meaning "in a hurry". We call it "rush hour" because everyone's busy trying to get to work on time (in the morning) or make it home with time to eat dinner and relax (in the afternoon).
