What does the red area on Amap represent?

[LuciaFitz]

Red routes indicate traffic conditions on the road, with red representing congestion. Amap navigation displays various traffic colors, detailed as follows: Green traffic: Roads marked with green lines generally indicate smooth traffic flow. Yellow traffic: Roads marked with yellow lines typically indicate slow-moving vehicles in that section. Red traffic: Roads marked with red lines usually indicate severe congestion in that area. Gray traffic: Roads marked with gray lines with construction symbols indicate that the section is currently under construction, and drivers should detour promptly.

After driving for so many years, using Amap for navigation has become second nature to me. The red zones indicate areas with severe traffic congestion where vehicles can hardly move, such as major urban roads turning largely red during rush hours, making it impossible for cars to proceed. Dark red might signify even worse congestion due to accidents or road construction. I make it a habit to check the map route before setting off, detouring around red zones in time to choose green, smooth sections, avoiding delays. Real-time navigation also pops up alerts suggesting route changes, saving both fuel and time. Weather factors should also be noted; red zones are more likely to appear after rain or snow, making advance route planning crucial. Remember the color system: green for smooth, yellow for slower traffic, and red for standstill. Before heading out on weekends, checking the map for red zones and adjusting plans to avoid getting stuck in frustrating traffic is also wise.

As a daily urban commuter, Amap is an essential tool in my life. The red areas indicate extremely high traffic congestion, especially during rush hours at highway entrances or urban roads, where the color often turns red, meaning the driving speed almost comes to a halt. In the app, green represents smooth traffic, yellow indicates slightly slower movement, and red signifies the most severe traffic jams. These are often caused by traffic accidents or inclement weather like rain or snow, and it's common for commuting times to double. I set up real-time alerts to avoid red zones and take alternative routes, and I also switch to public transport mode to consider transit options, reducing the risk of getting stuck. The areas around red zones also highlight hotspot events like accident locations, helping users understand the cause and quickly adjust their plans to improve travel efficiency.

I've been using Amap for a while now, and I simply understand that red areas indicate severely congested road sections. Green roads are smooth and unobstructed, yellow roads are a bit slow but still passable, while red roads are basically impassable. The navigation system will directly prompt to avoid red sections and choose alternative routes. As an ordinary user, when I see large areas of red on the map, I know I need to detour or change my travel time to the destination. Checking red zones before heading out can reduce the frustration of being stuck in traffic, especially on rainy, foggy days or during holidays when congestion is more likely to occur.
