Traffic estimates don't depend on when they last visited your street. They actually harvest that data from Android and other Google maps (and Waze) users speeds on the road in near real-time. So if you have people on your road chances are Google can tell how fast roughly half of them are going and algorithmically determine if that's on foot, bike, car, etc to calculate traffic estimates.

Yes, it is real time tracking. But it still is wrong in my area.

Good thing its not my mess to fix.
