A lattice gas with infinite repulsion between particles separated by $\leq 1$ lattice spacing, and nearest-neighbor hopping dynamics, is subject to a drive favoring movement along one axis of the square lattice. The equilibrium (zero drive) transition to a phase with sublattice ordering, known to be continuous, shifts to lower density, and becomes discontinuous for large bias. In the ordered nonequilibrium steady state, both the particle and order-parameter densities are nonuniform, with a large fraction of the particles occupying a jammed strip oriented along the drive. The relaxation exhibits features reminiscent of models of granular and glassy materials.
