Traffic time label in Apple Maps CarPlay?

[paulmeyers42]

Hi, I've tried searching for this but can't the answer. In CarPlay on iOS 15, I've noticed a "Traffic" label appears next to yellow and red traffic in Maps. There's a time indicator next to it, like "Traffic 10 mins."

Does anyone know what the time means? Is it "this traffic is adding 10 minutes to your trip"? Or "this traffic will take 10 minutes to get through" Or something else?

Thanks!

It's the amount of time you should expect to sit in that particular marked traffic.

Apple doesn't expect you to do any math...the total time for the trip is automatically adjusted in the ETA area.

So, it answers the question “how long will I be in this traffic?” What’s funny is it’s basically my entire commute home
