You are correct that the engine overheats because the radiator fan is not coming on, especially stopped or in slow traffic. First check the fuse and the relay. Then check the fan motor itself. Lastly, check the temp sensor/controller.

Here is a link to the full dealer service/repair manual. Not Haynes or Chilton, it's a service/repair manual. Very comprehensive. Perhaps you can find an answer there. http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/AUTOMOBILE/NISSAN/quest/
