Google Maps is an incredibly powerful and very useful tool - live traffic makes it even better.
Many people don't know that google maps, both desktop and mobile app can display accurate live traffic information for all major roads and many minor roads too. It has a simple colour coding system for traffic flow; green for free flowing, orange for busy and red for heavy traffic, it also has red and black stripes and black, to show when a road is closed.
How to switch it on
To switch the live traffic information on a desktop computer, just hover over the search tool and select the "Traffic" link from the list of options.
For a mobile device very similar, select the menu icon, (three horizontal stripes - called a hamburger menu because it's supposed to look like a hamburger bun!) and then choose traffic from the list of options.

Once you have switched the traffic information on, google will be remember and display traffic again when you next login, so you will need to switch it off if you no longer need it.
