Claim 10:
11. A method of updating a map layer, the method comprising:
receiving vehicle behavior data associated with a vehicle at or proximate to an intersection;
receiving driver behavior data associated with the one or more vehicles at or proximate to the intersection, wherein the driver behavior data include sensor data indicating driver behaviors that do not directly affect control of the one or more vehicles;
determining a likelihood of a temporary dynamic obstruction existing at or proximate to the intersection based on the vehicle behavior data and the driver behavior data;
responsive to the likelihood indicating existence of the temporary dynamic obstruction at or proximate to the intersection, validating the existence by:
receiving contextual data associated with the intersection, wherein the contextual data are image data including one or more images captured at the intersection;
analysing the image data to identify the temporary dynamic obstruction within the one or more images; and

responsive to the contextual data validating the existence, updating a datapoint of the map layer to indicate that the temporary dynamic obstruction exists at or proximate to the intersection.
