They get used for internal traffic only." Those types of situations are why traffic flow data tends to be kept very, very secret. Every network has its dark corners, its dirty little secrets that shouldn't see the light of day. It's easy to make sure those aren't drawn on the maps released to the public. It's a lot harder to make sure the presence of those edges doesn't become visible if you export actual flow data. Matt
