The HD Traffic on my TT550 was this morning indicating that the M1 was closed between J17 & J16 southbound, when it was actually operating perfectly normally. I also noticed this as I drove in the opposite direction last night.

Is anyone else observing this issue, or is it limited to my device?

No, this was a complete closure of the Southbound carriageway - it refused to route me along that section of road. I'll see if it's corrected tomorrow morning and report it if necessary.

There's a closure on the A1 near me but it's only in effect between 8pm and 6am. However HD Traffic seems to be treating it as a 24 hour closure as it would not route past it this afternoon.

Could that explain things?

Although the website in your case said it was a lane closure when the device reported total closure.

I think it was just a one-off mistake - it has been fine since Tuesday morning.

The lane closures around J15 & J18 are more permanent fixtures on TT, although neither of these operate 24 hours a day.
