An example of a Traffic sidebar is shown below.

In the example, the Traffic sidebar shows you that there are two incidents

ahead. Both incidents are traffic jams, the first is 15km ahead and is expected

to delay you by at least 51 minutes.

To re-plan your route to avoid these incidents, tap the Traffic sidebar to open

the TomTom traffic menu, then use Minimise traffic delays. For more

information see Using RDS-TMC traffic information (37).

Traffic incidents

Traffic incidents are displayed both on the Driving View and also on the Traffic

sidebar as small symbols. There are two type of symbols:
• Symbols shown in a red square are incidents that Traffic can help you avoid.
• Symbols shown in a red rectangle are weather related, because of their

nature, you cannot use Traffic to avoid them.
