Google Maps Now Displays Traffic Congestion
Google Maps shows real-time information about traffic for most major US cities. To see this, switch to the map or hybrid mode and click on the new traffic button.
Google Maps will add a layer that colors the roads in green, yellow, red, or gray. The colors represent how fast the traffic is moving:
- Green: more than 50 miles per hour
- Yellow: 25 – 50 miles per hour
- Red: less than 25 miles per hour
- Gray: no data available

Google is the best. I am based in South Africa so we are only getting a few of the features. Looking forward to all the fancy tools that you get in the states. This is ideal for people on the road. Does Google have an API that can integrate into GPS.
Ah! That’s so cool. And I’m sure this will benefit iPhone sales.
