Usually people will spend their vacation time visiting tourist attractions either in the city or out of town. The number of people traveling will make roads jammed. Of course, this crowded road condition will make the journey longer to get bored and tired.

The solution to avoid congestion is to find a quiet lane or alternative road. So you need to first monitor which lanes are experiencing traffic jams. So what are the applications for checking traffic jams that you can use?

Currently, you can easily monitor traffic conditions via smartphone. The existence of a traffic check application really helps you to see the traffic conditions before traveling. You can plan a travel route that you can choose to avoid traffic jams.

The following are recommendations for several traffic congestion check apps that you can use before traveling on holidays:

Google Maps is a favorite application that many people use to monitor traffic conditions. This application is already very popular because it provides a complete and detailed web mapping service feature.

Google Maps is a map and navigation application with various features, one of which is to view traffic jams. This platform can show the traffic congestion conditions that occur on the roads at the locations you choose, it could be city areas, districts, or certain areas.

In the map provided by Google Maps, there are three color roads that show traffic conditions. The map will display roads with red, yellow, and green colors. The red road shows very congested traffic conditions. While the yellow color shows moderate congestion, with still a distance between vehicles. Green means traffic conditions are smooth or not experiencing congestion.

The application recommendation for checking traffic congestion is Travoy. This application was developed by PT Jasa Marga, a state-owned company engaged in toll road business. Travoy provides information on traffic conditions, so you can use it to monitor the road before leaving for somewhere.

Although both provide information on traffic conditions, the Travoy application does not provide directional or navigational features such as Google Maps and Waze. Road congestion information displayed by Travoy is still limited. Travoy still cannot be used to see congestion conditions on all roads.

Although the features are still limited, Travoy provides a monitoring feature for road congestion conditions that are broadcast live or live via CCTV cameras on toll roads. To see the condition of traffic jams through this application, you only need to select the Maps option on the initial page. After the map appears, then click the CCTV camera icon.

Waze is also one of the traffic congestion check applications that have been widely used. The features provided by Waze are quite complete, such as Google Maps, namely maps and road directions.

The Waze application also provides a feature that can display traffic conditions on roads. The road traffic conditions in this application are shown with three colors, namely red, yellow, and gray.

If the map shows a red road, it means that there is a severe traffic jam. If the road is yellow, it indicates moderate traffic jams. Meanwhile, the gray road shows smooth traffic. To see this information through this application, you only need to open the application and information on the current traffic conditions will appear immediately.

Another application that you can also use to check traffic jams is the Road Transport and Traffic Management Center (RTTMC). This platform is a traffic monitoring service provided by the Ministry of Transportation.

RTTMC displays traffic conditions that are broadcast live through CCTV on roads. RTTMC provides CCTV shows for traffic monitoring in more than 30 locations that are prone to congestion.

Toll Road We provide a feature for monitoring traffic conditions that are quite complete, similar to Travoy. Through this application, you can see traffic jams directly from CCTV cameras installed on toll roads.
