I don't care about congestion at the loop ramp, the jug handle or Treble Cove Road. I don't even know where they are! I, like other drivers, only want to know about the traffic in my path.

Current radio traffic reports are entertaining (how do they talk so fast?) but not very helpful. It all seems scripted.

Web services, like Traffic.com, and Smart Traveller offer better resolution but how do you access it while driving? From the Globe, here are some other options and predictions of how to monitor traffic in the future. (The Globe offers their own traffic service through Smart Traveller.)
