I was playing with GoogleMap and it showed a route in blue with yellow sections of road:-
GoogleMap example showing yellow sections of road (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/51.9357597,-0.6664042/Chesfield+Downs+Golf+%26+Country+Club,+Hertfordshire,+United +Kingdom/@51.9498316,-0.5774565,7309m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m9!4m8!1m0!1m5!1m1!1s0x4876320f8968dd97:0xaaf bbe90b4db701a!2m2!1d-0.201464!2d51.948585!3e0)

Any ideas?

Speed cameras? - some sections are short and others long.

20mph speed limit? - one section passes a school, but other sections are not obvious locations or are very short.

Crossing another road? - some are - others are not.

Sections were there are images? - possible, but not proven.

Dual carriageway? - don't think so.

Single-carriageway sections on otherwise dual-carriageway? - no.

I cannot find a legend - all maps have legends, don't they?

You can pan and zoom the above link.

There is a google maps forum you can ask in. I have seen what you are referring to before but never actually wondered what they are. Now I need to know!

a route is in blue and then there is a patch of yellow what is meant by this?

It is the traffic information, yellow means some delays, red more delays and dark red even more serious delays.

Thanks, Espada III :ok:

I had previously searched for GoogleMaps legend without success.

Yellow is slow traffic on the route, Red is congested stopped traffic

Thank-you - I wasn't aware that GoogleMaps was so informative and interactive.
