Hi guys,
During our meetup in Paris, we were asked a few times about the effect that a regular event (i.e. when you report traffic) has or does not have on traffic calculations.

So after checking and double-checking, we can verify that your report does affect traffic calculations. Traffic jams (color coded) will not be created based on your traffic report along, but combined with your driving speed - they will create a traffic jam on a specific segment faster than without the report.

Keep on reporting (safely)!
