Seattle Area Traffic - I-405: N 30th St.

Traffic congestion maps are available for every major city and you can view them on the Internet.
Seattle Area Traffic - I-405: N 30th St.
Are we to see traffic blogs yet? Or an RSS feed type application which will send traffic data to handhelds and website alike? For the traveler to a different city it gives him the advantage of knowing if the traffic on the way to the business meeting will delay or not before even landing. This access to technology smoothes the efficiency of our movements across an already complex and crowded transportation grid. As we move among the global transport-grid we need ever more useful navigation devices. GPS, Web, traffic data systems, text, wi-fi, it doesn't matter. As long as we can get to where we need to be with minimal bother.

In our haste as we move across the human movement network we forget that all movements are trackable. All the roads on camera, all the airports and bus stations under video surveillance. All the packets of data matched with recipient and sender. They can find you whenever they want, wherever you are.
