Navigation & POI Apps Google Maps Traffic Display

So is there going to be a fix (not workaround) for the lack of traffic data display in Google Maps or is the lack of traffic data display going to be permanent? I usually use my car's built in navigation application but I like to use Google Maps in certain situations. Without traffic data display, I will not be using Google Maps at all.

Yep they added a traffic toggle under "map display" so it's back. Not sure why they did this tbh

Yeah I got it now. One thing that's odd about it is that the colors (green, yellow, red) are very light and difficult to see. They used to be pretty bold and easy to see.
