Nice! Where does it get the traffic data from? I couldn't find the information anywhere
My bet: https://www.mapbox.com/traffic-data But where MapBox gets the data? No clue
Sadly it does not seem like open data to me. Hopefully one day we'll have open traffic data for any osm app like OsmAnd or Organic maps 🤞
Oh, yeah, no it isn't open data. This type of data is very hard to build in an open data way: people don't like to contribute privatey data and they will only use such a system if it is big enough...
