Updated over a week ago

How to enable Live Traffic

Beeline Plus now takes into account live traffic data when planning a ride. This setting can be toggled on or off within the route planner:

Once this has been enabled, your route will adjust accordingly, with live traffic indicated along the route path:

Understanding road closure information

Short-term road closures are provided by HERE and available on Beeline Plus. Long-term road closures (lasting weeks or months) can be added to OpenStreetMap.

Live traffic and Routing

Our live traffic feature is designed to optimise your routes based on current traffic conditions.

  • Speed Adjustments: LiveTraffic adjusts road speeds dynamically to reflect real-time conditions.

  • Optimal Route Selection: At both the initial planning stage and during your ride, LiveTraffic selects the best available route.

  • Dynamic Rerouting: While riding, LiveTraffic will reroute you as traffic conditions change.

"Generate" Feature and Traffic

We understand that when using the "Generate" feature, you may occasionally encounter routes that include roads marked with heavy traffic (red). Currently, we're unable to prevent the "Generate" feature from suggesting routes through these congested areas.

Please note:

  • Live traffic is only available for Beeline Plus users for motorcycling routes in Smart Routing countries - you can find the list of those countries here

  • The traffic button will not be shown if you have cycling selected or if you are not in a country that supports traffic routing

  • If you have the traffic feature turned on, reroutes will take traffic into account as well

  • GPX imports will not include traffic information

  • Traffic data is purchased from HERE TechnologiesTM
