FAQ

How do I select a city?
Use the search bar (in the top right) and type the city's name and press "Enter" to go on your selected city.

How often is the traffic data updated?
The traffic is updated at each movement on the map (including moving and zooming). If you want to refresh your traffic data you could move away from the location you would see and come back.

What is the meaning of the different roadway colors?
Use the touch screen to move around the maps.
- On freeways and highways:

- Red: traffic is moving at 0 to 25 mph.
- Yellow: traffic is moving at 25 to 50 mph.
- Green: traffic is moving at 50 mph or faster.

- On secondary streets:

- Red: traffic is moving at 0 to 15 mph.
- Yellow: traffic is moving at 15 to 25 mph.
- Green: traffic is moving at 25 mph or faster.

What is the meaning of different incident icon colors?
The color of incident icons is indicative of severity.

- Red: significant incidents impacting traffic flow.
- Orange: medium severity (traffic hazards, etc.).
- Yellow: low severity (on-going construction, warnings, etc.).

How is my location working?
For GPS enabled devices, once the application retrieves your device location, it will display it on the map using a circle. You may also select a city from the search bar.
