Maybe your radiator fans are not coming on. When you stop you lose all the air flow through the radiator and the car over heats.

Thanks for the answer. Had a feeling it's deals with air flow. Because while I was driving the temperature gauge dropped when I was going about 40. And went up when I stopped.

Check the fuse first and if that is good it might be the temperature sender or the relay.
