Command Navigation road colours

Hi,
Does anyone know what do the different road colours mean on the navigation system (Command 2017 build E Class) display?.
I have some roads in yellow, some in orange, and grey. What I'm looking for is red which I thought I would see if there was any traffic congestion as I have Live Traffic Information on
I have tried just about every setting but still cannot figure it out.
Thanks in advance.

You can set automatic rerouting from the menu, it actually works quite well but it can be a little disconcerting at first because it will try to reroute you as much as possible to avoid the traffic jam. In general the system works well but, as is obvious, its only as good as the data available on where you are. The only thing that can be quite annoying is when the voice tells you to go one way (right or left) while the map is telling you to go the other!!!!! This issue is not a Mercedes exclusive either, Ive seen it in virtually every nav system Ive used. For more thorough info just play with the Nav system menu, there is a legend of colors and icons in there.

So the different colours mean how heavy traffic is (green, yellow, red) but does anyone know what those white "dots" mean?

I believe its roadwork zones.

Cheers ,

that’s what I thought too , but on many stretches there’s no roadwork, so was confused.

I guess they don’t always immediately update the situation…
