Highway condition announcer
A traffic reporter is a broadcast journalist who monitors and reports on road conditions, accidents, and congestion, typically during morning and evening commutes.
They deliver updates on radio or television, often from helicopters or using camera networks: The traffic reporter warned of a twenty-minute delay on the interstate.
The role has diminished somewhat with the rise of GPS navigation apps.
