A complete overhaul of the app at the end of August
The novelty has now been extended to the entire American territory, for people with the application on Android.
The rollout of the feature is expected to continue with other countries, but it is not known when it will arrive in France.
The traffic lights of each street are now indicated, in particular to help users find their way better and identify the streets in which they are moving.
Subsequently, Google Maps plans to indicate in real time the state of the lights (green, red or orange).
This new feature comes just a few weeks after a complete overhaul of the application, designed to clarify the display of information.
