About TomTom HD Traffic

In combination with IQ Routes, HD Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your destination
taking into account the current local traffic conditions.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 LIVE regularly receives information about the changing traffic
conditions. If traffic jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your Blue&Me
TomTom 2 LIVE will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
Using Traffic information
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar informs you about
traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is
located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents in
the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and
shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will
always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The colour of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:
Unknown or undetermined situation.
Slow traffic.
Queueing traffic.
Stationary traffic or road closure.
