Asking that someone contact a source in this case 1) probably won't work and 2) isn't going to produce more accurate results than just believing the person who said the bridge has traffic.

------------------- I have never suggested they "contact a source". What I have suggested is that you *may* contact a source *in order to* get them to re-publish a new statement. Contact alone is not sufficient.
Many times people will say "so and so emailed me", we've never held emails to be sufficient since they cannot be verified independently. The source has to actually publish something that can be independently verified.
