About TomTom Traffic
TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.
In combination with historical road usage data, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your
destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.
Your TomTom Go Navigation app regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your TomTom Go Navigation app
will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.
To get TomTom services on your TomTom Go Navigation app, your phone must have a mobile data connection.
Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming
charges while using TomTom services.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.
Looking at traffic on the map
Traffic incidents are shown on the map. If several traffic incidents overlap the highest priority incident is shown
- for example, a road closure is higher priority than road works or a closed lane.
Tip: Select an incident on the map to see more detailed information.
1. Traffic incident that affects your route in your direction of travel.
A symbol or number at the start of the incident shows the type of incident or the delay in minutes, for
example 5 minutes.
The colour of the incident indicates the speed of traffic relative to the maximum allowed speed at that
location, with red being the slowest. The stripes on the traffic jam are also animated to show the speed of
the traffic, where appropriate.
