Symbols in the map display
The appearance of the symbols indicating a
traffic obstruction depends on the scale and the
position of the traffic obstruction relative to the
route.
> Smaller map scale, e.g. 1 mile/2 km: white
sign with the traffic obstruction symbol
>
Larger map scale, e.g. 50 miles/100 km:
white sign with an arrow in the relevant
direction
Additional information in the traffic
bulletin map
When using a smaller map scale, the traffic
obstructions are displayed as bars at the edge
of the calculated route.
> Red: traffic congestion
> Orange: stop-and-go traffic
> Brown: traffic congestion in opposite
direction
