Google Maps adds next-turn traffic lights and stop signs to Android Auto
9to5Google reports that a new pop-up makes intersection controls more visible, though Google has not announced a rollout schedule.
TLDR
Google Maps is rolling out a pop-up that identifies whether the next turn has a traffic light or stop sign, according to 9to5Google's hands-on report. Unlike the small static intersection symbols Maps has displayed for years, the new indicator appears beside the next-turn street label on Android Auto. The outlet also saw it in the phone interface, suggesting the behavior may extend to CarPlay for users who receive the update. The change appears to be server-side, and Google has not announced when it will reach most users.
