Why am I in very heavy traffic, and then it suddenly disappears?

It’s easy to understand how heavy traffic starts. There’s a section where the H201 and the H1 merge. That’s simple to comprehend, but what about when the traffic suddenly thins?
There is one exit where quite a few cars leave the freeway, but not that many. And poof! the traffic accelerates from 20 to 50 immediately.
OK, civil engineers, what’s going on? I have wondered about this my whole life.
While you’re at it, can you tell me why traffic is the worst on Thursdays?
