Checking traffic incidents in your area
Get an overview of the traffic situation in your area, using the map. To find
local incidents and their details, do the following:
The Traffic sidebar
The Traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving View when
TomTom Traffic is switched on. The Traffic sidebar shows you the traffic
incidents on your route. It shows the following information:
• A symbol for each traffic incident in the order they occur along your
planned route.
• The estimated delay to the next traffic incident on your route.
• The distance from your current location to the next incident on your route.
An example of a Traffic sidebar is shown below.
In the example, the Traffic sidebar shows you that there are two incidents
ahead. Both incidents are traffic jams, the first is 15km ahead and is expected
to delay you by at least 51 minutes.
To re-plan your route to avoid these incidents, tap the Traffic sidebar to open
the TomTom traffic menu, then use Minimise traffic delays.
