Showing Traffic Conditions

Red = less than 25 miles per hour

Gray = no data currently available

Yellow = 25–50 miles per hour

Green = more than 50 miles per hour

If you don’t see color-coded highways, you may need to zoom out to a level where you can see major roads, or traffic conditions may not be available for that area.
