traffic map

Roadway flow chart

A traffic map shows vehicle congestion on roads, typically using color coding—green for free-flowing, yellow for slowing, red for heavy delays.

Navigation apps display real-time traffic maps using data from other drivers' phones: Check the traffic map before you leave.

The term also applies to network diagrams showing data flow patterns.
