TomTom. Where DO they get traffic info from??

[kevinx]

They say "curiosity killed the cat!" (Glad I'm not a cat!

Okay, wonder if anyone has an "authoritive" answer on this (opposed to speculative).

TomTom Traffic. WHERE is this information fed from/collated from? Does anyone know? I don't mean "which server is it sent from", I refer to the "slow traffic "x" minutes delay", or "Road block/delay, due to accident".

Anyone know?

Cheers (and Happy New Year to all)
