I guess my question is: how do you identify a backed up road? Is it supposed to have some sort of marking on the road itself? - Do incident roads and flow roads appear different during heavy traffic periods?
Also, what does that the "TRAFFIC" word-icon on the upper right corner of the screen mean? It's usually green... does that mean the road is clear? Does it get any other colors to indicate different traffic conditions? If so, how do you see status of other roads that you may be planning on getting on (but not on them yet)?

The word traffic is always green.
