Google Maps has added traffic information for more than 30 U.S. cities.

If available in your area, real-time traffic conditions will be displayed over the highway as color coded lines. Each color represents how fast the traffic is moving:

• Green: more than 50 miles per hour
• Yellow: 25 – 50 miles per hour
• Red: less than 25 miles per hour
• Gray: no data currently available

Now if we can just find a way to scrape that information and automate a traffic status feed for a specified route. Any ideas? Please share ‘em in the comments. [via] – Link
