Arterial, crowdsourced traffic info comes to Google Maps
You already know how to find the status of traffic on the highway, but what about regular roads? Google has added arterial road information to Google Maps in select cities and has begun using crowdsourced data to provide more live updates.
Not only can you get live traffic updates, Google Maps lets you select options for viewing the average traffic patterns on a specific day and time. Say you're taking a road trip and you're leaving on Thursday at 5pm—you can now look up the traffic in advance for planning purposes.
