Looking at traffic on your route
Information about traffic incidents on your route is shown in the route bar on the right-hand side of
the map and guidance views.
The route bar tells you about traffic delays while you are driving, using symbols to show you where
each traffic incident is located on your route. When using the map view, you can also select symbols
on the map itself.
Note: If your VIA isn't receiving any traffic information, a symbol showing traffic with a cross
appears underneath the arrival information panel.
Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents
will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
To get more information about an incident, select an incident in the route bar. The map opens
zoomed in on the incident and an information panel opens showing detailed information about the
traffic incident.
The information shown includes:
 The cause of the traffic incident - for example accident, road works, lane closure, or weather.
 The severity of the incident - slow traffic, traffic lining up or stationary traffic.
 The delay time.
 The length of the incident.
