Traffic Congestion Considered in Driving Directions?

I'm finding shortest travel times between pairs of ZIP codes and am wondering... how does MapPoint take into consideration traffic congestion in urban areas? Or does it?

I don't think it does take traffic congestion into consideration, for one thing it's so variable, at 8 AM it might take 50 minutes to go 10 miles and at 10 AM it might take 15 minutes.
