What are the color lines indicated on the traffic map?
The green part on the map is the fastest, and dark red is slow traffic. If you see red in most routes, avoid it; it’s better to check alternate directions and take it.
- The dreaded red lines on the map mean that highway traffic is moving at less than 25 miles / 40.2 km per hour and could indicate an accident or congestion on that route.
- Yellow lines on the map indicate that traffic is moving faster, from 25 – 50 miles / 40.2 – 80.46 km per hour.
- Green lines on the traffic map indicate zipping along at 50 miles / 80.46 km per hour or more.
- If you see grey lines on the map, it indicates that there’s no traffic information available at the time
- The red-black line on the map shows extremely slow or stopped traffic, try to avoid!
