1. A method comprising:
- accessing, by a computer processor, lane-specific data comprising information characterizing a current observed real-time traffic speed and a distance associated with a first segment of a first lane of a road in a direction of travel;
communicating, by the computer processor, at least a portion of the lane-specific data to a client including lane-specific traffic speed, the lane-specific traffic speed including a current maximum possible speed and a current minimum possible speed and the current real-time speed;
providing a visual indication of at least a portion of the lane-specific data indicating the current real-time traffic speed, the current maximum possible speed and the current minimum possible speed, and the distance of the first segment for display on the client;
changing the visual indication for display based on dynamically updated lane-specific data;
wherein providing the visual indication of at least a portion of the lane-specific data includes the lane-specific data communicated to the client comprise color-coded speed-related information indicating the current observed real-time traffic speed; and
wherein the color is based on a range of speed of a mean speed of the current observed real-time traffic speed of a plurality of vehicles traversing the first segment.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor, the storage medium comprising instructions for:
-
accessing lane-specific data comprising information characterizing a current observed real-time traffic speed, a current maximum possible speed and a current minimum possible speed, and a distance associated with one or a plurality of segments of a plurality of lanes of a road in a same direction of travel; communicating at least a portion of the lane-specific data to a client including lane-specific traffic speed, the lane-specific traffic speed including a current maximum possible speed and a current minimum possible speed and the current real-time speed; providing a visual indication of at least a portion of the lane-specific data indicating the current observed real-time traffic speed and the distance of the first segment for display on the client; changing the visual indication for display via the client based on dynamically updated lane-specific data; wherein providing the visual indication of at least a portion of the lane-specific data includes the lane-specific data communicated to the client comprise color-coded speed-related information indicating the current observed real-time traffic speed; and wherein the color is based on a range of speed of a mean speed of the current observed real-time traffic speed of a plurality of vehicles traversing the first segment.
