I’ve literally watched my car (only car around) trigger the yellow heavy traffic warning (because I was driving slow to look for something).

Yet thousands of cars doing 60 mph through a cornfield and over a river doesn’t trigger a “maybe a freeway was built here?”

Advertising slightly heavier traffic isn't the worst thing in the world. Telling hundreds of motorists "There's a navigable road here" when there isn't, is a bigger problem, for both Apple's PR team, and the motorists in question

Verifying indepenantly is probably the reasonable response
