Google Maps Gets Traffic
Maps February 28th, 2007 - By Haochi
This is probably one of the most requested feature for Google Maps, and it is now live - real-time traffic data. There are comprehensive data for 30 major cities in the U.S., including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and others. Many more has partial coverage. If the area where the traffic data is available, you should be able to see a “Traffic” button at the top right corner.
This is what the colors represents on the traffic data:
- Green: more than 50 miles per hour
- Yellow: 25 - 50 miles per hour
- Red: less than 25 miles per hour
- Gray: no data currently available
Oh wow, Manhattan, busy town. Not very useful for me right now, but when I get my driving license this summer, hehe. :) (I shall be a good driver and never speed)
Google Maps for Mobile has had this feature for a really long time.
