What are the definitions of the different traffic condition values in the Flow feed?

The traffic condition indicates the traffic status according to the relative speed of the location. It is aligned with the traffic jams reported in the corresponding Incident feed.

When the relative speed of an entire flow segment or a flow section is below 90% and there is no traffic jam reported in the Incident feed, the "heavy traffic" traffic condition is used to indicate a slight reduction in traffic flow.

free traffic: 90% - 100%
heavy traffic: 62.5% - 90%
slow traffic: 35% - 62.5%
queuing traffic: 25% - 35%
stationary traffic: 0% - 25%

There are three other traffic conditions defined in our schemas:

  • "closed" means that you cannot pass the road segment,

  • "long queues traffic" is not used and

  • "unknown" indicates that a traffic condition is not provided.
