Help with a UR: Traffic reports time to clear

Post by tckma
I've got this UR in one of my managed areas. I'm trying to find information in the wiki about how traffic reports effect segment times and how long a segment stays with traffic on it before clearing, but I can't find it. I suspect this may be a case of the guy was driving at 3 AM on a Sunday after a Wazer drove very slowly down the road at 2 AM with a grand piano tied to the roof.

The report's on a major state highway, so I doubt it's devoid of any traffic at any time of day.

I want a better answer for this guy then, "well there's nothing I can do about that, and it's not really a problem."

The balloon traffic alert is user-input and does not impact routing.

The general colored road and routing server are roughly real-time, though historical information is factored in.

I get URs all the time where someone is reporting "No traffic"
