Top 4 Traffic Apps to get there you want easily.

According to TomTom, on average 15% of roads change every year. The iPad and iPhone app promises to provide the most up-to-date information to help you navigate these roads. It collects speed data to give you accurate measures of how long it takes to get there, even accounting for shopping crowds and more typical things, like rush hour. Plus, the app offers speed camera notifications to save you money on traffic tickets.
The co-founders developed the iPhone app after experiencing a first-person pain point — at any given meeting,chances are one party will be late. The app takes out the guesswork because it estimates your arrival time for you — and saves you from texting while driving, perhaps the biggest win.
If you’re in the UK and tweet words including traffic, accident, fire, slow, congestion, junction, roadworks or queues, you may find your tweet becomes the fuel of Twitraffic, an iPhone and Android app that provides real-time traffic updates to users. Ross Targett is the sole developer and founder, who says he enjoys working with big data and solving complex problems.
While the app is dependent on Twitter, it doesn’t manage a user’s profile data, so recent changes to Twitter’s API had no effect on the app. The developer uses Alchemy for sentiment analysis. The positive or negative subtext of a tweet indicates whether it’s valid to include. “Positive tweets about traffic are treated as suspicious, and are dismissed from the results,” says Targett.
