Color |Description |Meaning Traffic is Green |Low severity |flowing normally. ñ Traffic is Yellow Medium slightly 2 congested. Traffic is , heavily Red |High severity congested or stopped. 36

Traffic on Your Route When calculating your route, the nüvi examines the current traffic and automatically optimizes the route for the shortest time.
