Traffic info is superimposed over the map
I learnt this a while back. The colors on the Map show whether there is traffic or not.
Red means heavy traffic Yellow means mild traffic Green means you are good to go Hopefully the picture comes out

What I dont like is the traffic color lines are off to the side of the road. Also traffic view changes the color of the display to a slightly darker one. Not sure why.

They should just color the Lincoln Tunnel a permanent red, shouldn't they?
Someday I'll read through the Nav manual and figure out what half the features do. |

I understand the green/yellow/red shading along the sides. But why are some roads permanently red down the center of the road, irrespective of the time of day and regardless of whether or not the border has a green/yellow/red shading.
Route 2, the major north-west highway out of Cambridge, shows as solid red between the prison circle and Acton. The borders of the road correctly change in concert with the rush hour traffic, but the center remains solid red at all times. This is in the main view not the separate traffic view. |

I wonder what the purpose for having Traffic Map and Traffic Flow options??? Or is this another BMW "feature" we paid extra for? |

What's also cool is there's a feature called "alternate colors" which turns the map from the conventional pallet to a more modern one. And if you run it in Night Mode 24/7 as I do, it's very cool because it matches Coral Red and the black bits perfectly, it's all black/grey/red. |

The 45 mph section tends to back up during commuter hours, so I was thinking that perhaps the red is supposed to indicate "potential slow traffic" or "average slow traffic." Attached: the not very good blurry image shows the 55mph yellow section at the upper left. The heavy red horizontal road is the 45mph continuation. Google map of same area: http://bit.ly/1wqHqxL The road in question is route 2. The heavy red starts at Taylor road and continues east to the traffic circle and beyond.

But headed west after Crosby's corner into Concord and Acton no significant construction - although there was a routine repaving a year or so ago. Conceivably that's it. |
