Avoid Traffic Jams With Layers Google Maps

Development of large cities sometimes makes it feels more narrow streets alone. Moreover, many of the city’s residents who use private vehicles more trigger increasingly congested streets and this of course leads to congestion that always felt every day at rush hour. Many ways have been done by the government of building a fly over in the street that often jam occurs, the following can be used also underpass road users.

But its construction is still not a big impact on congestion that continues to happen. Various efforts were certainly needs quite a long time, and the construction is not uncommon to avoid traffic makes streets more narrow and more traffic only. Perhaps one solution that can be given in the field of technology is to use a specific application. This is offered by Google Maps.

Google Maps does have a positive impact, not only the geography of this system can make us recognize the streets and the potential that exists, but now the Google itself continues to experiment, one of them by adding Traffic Layer for its users. Expected later in the presence of this new layer will make the users even for users of Google Maps for cars that activate the My Location can know whether that will be lived streets are jammed or not. It is characterized by a color indicator, for example for the color green symbolizes that the area that is passed is not jammed, the color yellow symbolize there is little traffic on the streets, red color symbolizes enough to jam the streets, while the dark brown color indicates that the street was jammed cannot even move.  With the new layer, users can also know the street of small roads which could be an alternative to passing traffic. Is this the future could provide a good solution to avoid congestion?
