Traffic.com, a NAVTEQ company and a leading provider of personalized traffic information, announced today expanded U.S. coverage and increased local content that will make driving easier for Labor Day weekend travelers. Recent enhancements to the Traffic.com Web site will also help people navigate congestion during the back-to-school traffic rush.

Site visitors have immediate access to increased local information on new City Area pages as well as within free MyTraffic alerting solutions delivered via email, voice and mobile device.

The City Area pages feature the following enhancements:

• Detailed state-of-the-art interactive traffic mapping
• Expanded traffic flow with travel times on more city roadways
• Quick and easy access to pertinent local traffic-related information, including: Incidents (accidents, disabled vehicles, police activity, etc), Roadwork (unscheduled and scheduled construction), Mass Transit (delays, detours and incidents), Events (current and future local events, like ballgames),  Emergency Alerts (traffic problems, public safety advisories, etc).

The combination of enhanced map detail with full pan and zoom interactivity allows drivers to easily view multi-city traffic conditions. With its expanded geographic reach, Traffic.com now measures and reports traffic speeds for most major roadways in more than 100 markets across the U.S.
