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 TomTom GO 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, queuing traffic or stationary traffic.
• The delay time.
• The length of the incident.

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.
