With the navigation app Google Maps you can not only plan routes. You can also check the current traffic situation in terms of traffic jams, construction sites and more.
Google Maps has many useful functions for planning your route or a shopping trip in the city center. With just a few clicks you can find out about the current traffic situation. This way you can see where the traffic is flowing and on which streets there are construction sites or traffic jams causing waiting times.
In addition, you can obtain a general forecast of the current traffic volume using the “Normal traffic situation”. For example, on Monday you will find out what traffic will most likely be like at 2 p.m. on Friday afternoon. This forecast is based on the average of the data Google Maps has collected to date. The following steps show how you can use the feature.
You can also display the current traffic situation in the Google Maps iOS and Android apps.
