Traffic bulletins on the map
Concept
Traffic events can be displayed as symbols in the map view.
Traffic flow information can be displayed as colored lines along the individual roads in the map view. The line colors indicate the traffic density.
- Black: road blocked.
- Red: congestion.
- Orange: stop-and-go traffic.
- Yellow: heavy traffic.
- Green: clear roads.
- Gray: general traffic bulletins, for instance construction site.
General information
The display of the symbols for traffic events and traffic flow information is independent from the scale of the map and the position of the traffic obstruction.
With the use of destination guidance with intermediate destinations or online alternative routes, possible traffic events ahead are displayed in form of lighter symbols.
