Electric Josh

Another traffic item: they finally starting to open the rest of my private fifteen billion dollar highway. Thanks, everyone! Now to ask the good folks at the Mass Turnpike Authority to hire a friggin cartographer or even a guy with a pencil and paper and a digital camera to draw up even a basic map of these lane changes. How hard could that possibly be?

So Yahoo has decided to provide traffic information as an overlay atop their regular street maps. Excellent, I thought. Then I went and actually looked at the traffic info. Solitary icons noting lane closures and that's it—no traffic speeds, no travel times, no nothing. And just to make sure that it remains as useless as possible, "Yahoo declined to identify the exact sources of its traffic data."
