1. An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code instructions, the computer program code instructions configured to, when executed, cause the apparatus to:
receive vehicle behavior data associated with a vehicle at a portion of a road;
receive driver behavior data associated with the vehicle at or proximate to the portion, wherein the driver behavior data include sensor data indicating driver behaviors that do not directly affect control of the vehicle;
determine a likelihood of a temporary dynamic obstruction existing at or proximate to the portion 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 portion, validate the existence by:
receiving contextual data associated with the portion, wherein the contextual data are image data including one or more images captured at the portion; and
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, update a datapoint of a map layer to indicate that the temporary dynamic obstruction exists at or proximate to the portion.
