The traffic bar also shows information such as road works, and the delay caused by these incidents.
Tap the traffic bar to view more information about the incident.
Tap the left and right arrow buttons to view separate incidents in the order they occur on your route.
To avoid a traffic incident tap Avoid. A route is calculated that avoids the incident. You can choose the new route or return to the previous route.
Tap Minimise delays to re-plan your route based on the latest traffic information. You can choose the new route or return to the previous route.

Taking the fastest route
TomTom App constantly looks for changes in the traffic on your route and checks if there is a faster route to your destination. If a faster route is found, either that route is automatically taken or you are asked if you want to use the faster route. You can change this setting in the Settings menu.
