Thinking of "velocity varies inversely with pressure" makes this image more meaningful to me.
This is the view from below, correct?

The CFD is representing the road as a pane of glass,and we're seeing the velocity distribution at the road surface only,right at the contact patch.
The front tires are creating part of the bow wake and the rear tires are embedded within their turbulence.
Luminescent soap smears will reveal the same pattern on the floor of a wind tunnel and with a telephoto lens,you'll see the same thing on a dusty road.
