at that location, with red being the slowest. The stripes on the traffic jam are also animated to

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.
Tip: You see weather symbols on the map if there is bad weather such as heavy rain or snow.

Looking at traffic on your route
Information about traffic incidents on your route is shown in the route bar on the right-hand side of
the map.
The route bar tells you about traffic delays while you are driving, using symbols to show you where
each traffic incident is located on your route.
Note: If your START isn't receiving any traffic information, a symbol showing traffic with a cross
appears underneath the arrival information panel.
Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents
will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
To get more information about an incident, select an incident in the route bar. The map opens
zoomed in on the incident and an information panel opens showing detailed information about the
traffic incident.
The information shown includes:
The type of traffic incident - general, accident, road works, lane closure or weather such as
heavy rain or snow.
The severity of the incident - slow traffic, queuing traffic or stationary traffic.
The delay time.
The length of the incident.
For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.
