Most traffic congestion doesn't operate to an accurate timetable? Typically, you have observations of the congestion (at a known time), and an estimated (i.e. made up) duration. For the few events which are predictable, you'd want to take advantage of that and broadcast the prediction. But without implying the event has already started. Unless I'm missing something, you can't do that with just expiration date. Just a thought.
