1. A mobile communication device comprising:
- a memory that stores executable instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising;
determining a current geographic location of a subscriber associated with the mobile communication device;
transmitting location information associated with the current geographic location to a traffic server;
receiving, from the traffic server, a travel route comprising a roadway, wherein the traffic server identifies the travel route according to the location information;
receiving, from the traffic server, a drivability rating associated with the roadway, wherein the traffic server determines the drivability rating based on a traffic condition and a location of the traffic condition; and
presenting traffic information according to the travel route and the drivability rating that are received.

18. A method comprising:
-
providing, by a mobile communication device, a starting location and a destination location to a traffic server via a website; presenting, by the mobile communication device, a map illustrating the starting location and the destination location; receiving from the traffic server, by the mobile communication device, a travel route based upon the starting location and the destination location; receiving, by the mobile communication device, a user input for identifying the travel route; transmitting, to the traffic server, by the mobile communication device, the user input for associating a route name with the travel route; receiving, by the mobile communication device, a user selection of the route name via a user interface; transmitting, by the mobile communication device, the route name to the traffic server to begin navigation via the travel route; receiving, by the mobile communication device, a notification from the traffic server of a drivability rating associated with a roadway of the travel route, wherein the traffic server determines the drivability rating based upon a location of a traffic condition at the roadway; and presenting, by the mobile communication device, the notification of the drivability rating.
