• Free Flow Traffic - a section of the blue route line will be bordered with a light
green line (this may be difficult to see)
• Moderate Traffic Flow - a section of the route line will change from blue to
orange
• Heavy Traffic Flow - a section of the route line will change from blue to red
• Unknown Traffic Flow - a section of the route line is blue
