To me, that says traffic.
I would suggest for pilots thinking of using traffic delays from their residence as a contractual out for being late on reserve call outs should contact the IPA legal team and get their advice before moving.
While my opinion is that a rare late report due to traffic would not be disciplined other then recorded in you exception file, multiple events would lead to an issue easily avoided.
