In certain traffic conditions, bottlenecks can persist for hours without any apparent cause (i.e., there is no crash or stopped car blocking the road). Even though the cars entering and exiting the region are changing all the time, the bottleneck persists. You could say that traffic has "memory". Ant colonies can exhibit "memory" in a similar way.
