    Traffic data kind of requires driver tracking data to be sent to the cloud, which usually goes against the philosophy of projects like this. Unless they’re obtaining it from a third party, I doubt it’ll be a feature they implement.

      I think it would be fine if it were opt-in, but then you wouldn’t get enough data to get accurate traffic estimates

        I’ve wondered if you could even if it was slowly build up a database of traffic infromation and have it be an opt in feature. Like I know in general in my city when things get busiser so I know when to avoid certain parts.

      OsmAnd seems to do this.

      They predict traffic patterns based on random UUID. I don’t know how it works but it seems to be default on.
