Traffic Mapping Gets in the Way

So what bothers me about the recent feature of Real-time Traffic Reporting? The traffic reports cover up the freeway names. Move your mouse over the image on the right and you’ll see exactly what I mean.

I was just trying to figure out an alternative route because I saw some hick-ups on a route I am going to take to Manhattan Beach later today with a friend, but I couldn’t see the freeway numbers. That bugs me.

Hopefully the Maps team will come up with a solution quickly to resolve that problem so it’s not a hindrance anymore.
