A method and system of reducing route congestion due to a traffic event during simultaneous rerouting of a route by GPS devices. A computer receives information regarding the traffic event; predicts at least one GPS alternate route which a GPS device would recommend to a user to avoid the traffic event; predicts a number of users that would utilize the at least one GPS alternate route; finds at least one other alternate route; determines a number of existing vehicles already present on the GPS alternate route and on the at least one other alternate route; calculates a reroute weight for each of the GPS alternate routes, calculates modified traffic information for each of the GPS alternate routes by applying the reroute weight for the GPS alternate route to increase the real-time traffic data for the GPS alternate route; and sends the modified traffic information to the GPS devices.
