traffic advisory

Congestion status update

A traffic advisory is an official announcement warning of road conditions that may affect travel—accidents, construction, weather hazards, or congestion.

Traffic advisories help drivers plan routes or adjust departure times: Check traffic advisories before heading to the airport.

They're issued by transportation departments, radio stations, or navigation apps.
