A couple of traffic-related items to report this afternoon.

• Wiresoft offers highway traffic conditions for mobile phones for a dozen locations in the U.S. It’s a free service, but your phone has to be able to support it; the page has a list.
• The New Scientist reports on a new, predictive traffic forecasting system that combines current conditions with historical trends. Apparently it’s going live now in California, and being rolled out in other centres later. Via All Points Blog.
