Some jurisdictions do publish live traffic updates in GeoJSON, examples: - https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/live-traffic-hazards - https://www.data.qld.gov.au/dataset/131940-traffic-and-travel-information-geojson-api
Note a lot of these API feeds are licenced CC-BY, so downstream consumers would need to comply with attribution requirements when synthesising OSM and live traffic datasets.
