Nowadays, whenever we have to go somewhere, instead of asking for directions, we directly open google Maps. Whether it is to go to a friend's house, to find a new cafe or to know the traffic situation on the way to the office, google Maps accompanies us everywhere. But have you noticed that lines of many colours are seen on the roads? Do you know what they mean? Actually, different colours on google Maps are not just for decoration, they are to give you the correct information about the journey. If you understand the meaning of these colours, then your journey can become even easier.
Every colour has its own language
Green: When a road appears in green colour, then understand that there is absolutely no traffic on that road. You can go out comfortably, there will be no obstruction.
Yellow or Orange: This means that there is a little crowd on the road. The vehicles are moving slowly, but they are moving. It won't take long.
Red: Be cautious as soon as you see this colour. It shows the place where there is heavy traffic. If it turns dark red, then understand that there is a traffic jam there.
Blue: When you search a location, the blue line that is formed is the main route of your journey. That is, google advises you to go through the same route.
Purple: Sometimes google gives you another option which appears in purple colour. This route may be a little longer or there may be more traffic on it.
Brown: This colour is the identity of mountains, not plains. When you see a brown shade at a place, then understand that there are high areas or mountain paths there. It is especially useful for those who do trekking.
Why is it important to understand these colours?
Many people use google Maps, but do not know the meaning of the colours shown in it. This is the reason why they often get stuck in traffic or take the wrong route. If you can identify these colours, you can not only save your time but also make your journey more comfortable..jpg)
