Don't Get Stuck in Traffic Don't Get Stuck in Traffic When There's a Better Route
by Bob Tenley
Do you hate wasting hours each week sitting in traffic? Do you often hear about the traffic jam you're already in on the radio after it's too late? Have you ever wondered if a different route would have been quicker as you sit in your car, barely moving on the freeway? There is a helpful and FREE answer that doesn't require a $900 high-end GPS.
Try out www.mytraffic.com!
Mytraffic.com allows you to configure multiple routes to and from home, work or any other location and to receive traffic reports regarding those routes at specified times. Routes are assigned a "Jam Factor" amount where '0' means the route is clear of any congestion and '10' means your favorite route home is now a parking lot. Whether it is an accident, new construction, flooding or weather - you'll be notified.
When you register, you'll choose the days and times you want to get notified about only your routes, the traffic "Jam Factor" value you want to trigger a report and if you want the report to be an e-mail, text message or voice mail.
You can also visit the www.mytraffic.com website at anytime to view all of your specific routes and the status of the major roadways in your city. Furthermore, www.mytraffic.com is smart-phone friendly and will display a condensed version of the site correctly on your web-enabled cell phone.
And the best part...it really is free! Mytraffic.com sends out a small advertisement with each message to make it worth their while.
MyTraffic.com is used regularly by several members of the Avalion team who have saved countless hours of drive-time in commuting to and from work. We thought you might benefit from this service too.
