Traffic information in Windows Phone Maps coming to more countries soon
2

If you are a regular user of the traffic feature available in Maps for Windows Phone, you might have noticed that a few improvements have been introduced recently. In particular, the real time traffic information is now a lot more detailed, and the guys at Bing and Nokia are the ones we have to thank for that. Road conditions are available not only for certain major roads, but for additional highways and secondary streets as well.
But wait, there's a lot more! Real time traffic data is to be given another expansion soon and will be made available in major cities across a number of countries. The list includes Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. The feature is expected to go live within a few weeks, so keep an eye out for it, in case you are interested.
