I'm guessing that's what Andy meant - I certainly see it then. They are fatter because the system is putting coloured lines on one or both sides of the same section of road at times to indicate queues - yellow, red etc. to show severity. So the map road width expands! I personally don't like the method, and much preferred my old Merc satnav (Comand) which showed little yellow and red cars to indicate queues.
Just found out how to make the fat roads thinner! There is an option in the Navigation/Traffic settings to “Show Free Flowing Traffic”. This setting links with the driver profiles, and is on by default each time you start the car unless you switch it off and save in a profile. This feature causes the thick green lines!
Nice work Sherlock

Nice work Mr Holmes.

It wasn’t elementary Watson, it was in this case fortuitous!

That explains why I haven't experienced the fat roads problem - the setting defaults to 'off' on my car, must have a different version of software.

Prob not different software version but you may have had it set to off when saving your driver profile for the first time.
