Traffic data
Collection of Traffic data sources, from more static, via historical, to live traffic data (real time traffic data) that might be used in combination with OSM data. Some of the data might have restricted use; that remains to be analyzed and sorted). URLs need to be checked and described, and data sources extracted.
