In the Maps app
on your Mac, click in the search field, then enter the name of the location that you want to check.
Click the Map button
, then select Driving (or select Satellite, click the More button

Orange indicates slow traffic, and red indicates stop-and-go traffic. A marker appears anywhere there’s a traffic incident.
To get more information about a traffic incident, click a marker on the map.
There are four incident markers:

appears for a general alert.
If you have a Mac with Apple silicon, you can also see road details like turn lanes, central reservations, crossings and more — just zoom in.
