New on MapQuest: Traffic


Traffic is not new to commuters ... and MapQuest has it covered. Before you leave (or as you drive with your mobile device) you can avoid the troublespots - either construction or accidents. MapQuest Traffic is being Beta tested and you can try it out here. From the MapQuest Blog:
From the MapQuest Blog:"We're pleased to announce the launch of our new Current Traffic feature. Now when you bring up a map or generate driving directions, with one click you can easily visualize traffic conditions in most major US metros. This is a great way to quickly check traffic as you begin your commute home from the office, or before heading out to the airport, concert, ballpark, or mall. Keep in mind that once you've started your trip, MapQuest Traffic is a real-time feature (updated every five minutes) and things can change quickly once you're on the road. "
