Mapquest Now Offers Traffic Reports

Do you ever Mapquest a location, jump in your vehicle and start heading the direction the mapping website provided, only to end up stuck in a traffic jam? Well, not anymore. Mapquest is now including traffic reports on their site. Just enter your start and end addresses, click 'enter,' then click the 'live traffic' button in the upper right hand corner of the map that's provided. I just did that and it's showing heavy traffic on Division and Browne into the downtown area and heavy traffic on I90. The traffic report is updated every five minutes on mapquest.

Of course, keep in mind that you can find a lot more detailed info on traffic conditions, especially those related to construction projects, at SpokaneRoadFix.net.
