What speed does this calculator use?

An average of 80 km/h (≈ 50 mph), a mix of town and highway driving. The speeds under the answer show 50 to 120 km/h.

Does it include traffic and stops?

No — it is non-stop driving at a constant 80 km/h; traffic, lights and stops add time. With a 15-minute break after every 2 hours of driving (UK Highway Code, rule 91), 500 km take about 7 hours: 6 hours and 15 minutes of driving plus 3 breaks.
