The traffic situation doesn't just tell you about which roads are jammed up, but reflects the number of cars and conditions in Taipei, and from that gives a sense of Taiwan's economic growth and the driving habits of its citizens. It allows one to see to what degree people work together or work at cross-purposes, reflecting something about the society as a whole.
本身也從事廣播工作的張偉國認為，台北的路況報導已經不是單純的交通報導，路況反映的不光是交通問題。台灣汽車的數量及性能，反映出台灣的經濟；開車人的習性、駕駛人之間的合作或互不相讓，也反映出社會風尚。
