ABSTRACT:
The method and system described herein provides an interface for accessing a database containing information pertaining to traffic conditions.

Several embodiments are disclosed in accordance with the present invention by which the driver can easily receive timely traffic information from the interface via the driver's wireless communications device, such as a wireless telephone.
