title: API for historical traffic data?
body: <p>Does anyone know of a public API for historical traffic data?</p>
  
  <p>Some quick googling pulls up an API from Yahoo which offers real-time data, but I'd be curious if anyone hosts a service for historical data - i.e., what was the "severity" (one of the attributes the Yahoo API returns) for a given location at a given date and time.</p>
  
  <p><em>(I'm going to guess that such a thing doesn't exist today, or at least no public options, as this would be an immense amount of data to store, but it never hurts to ask...)</em></p>
