About the Traffic Icon

When you are receiving traffic information, a traffic icon appears
on the map. The traffic icon changes color to indicate the
severity of traffic conditions.
Green: Traffic is flowing freely.
Yellow: Traffic is moving, but there is a delay. There is
moderate traffic congestion.
Red: Traffic is not moving or moving very slowly. There is a
severe delay.
Gray: Traffic information is not available.
Traffic on Your Route
When calculating your route, the device examines the current
traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest
time. If a severe traffic delay occurs on your route while you are
navigating, your device automatically recalculates the route.
The traffic icon
changes color to indicate the severity of
traffic conditions on your route or on the road you are currently
traveling.
Your device may route you through a traffic delay if a better
alternative route does not exist. The delay time is added into
your estimated time of arrival automatically.
