[Update: Confirmed] Google Maps tests showing traffic lights on streets - 9to5Google

Google Maps is used by millions of people on a daily basis to get around, and Google is often building out new features to make the service even better.

Now, it’s been revealed that Google Maps is testing out showing traffic lights on streets, but possible only on Android.

The folks over at Droid-Life obtained several screenshots from a reader which show that, indeed, Google Maps is showing traffic lights around that area.

The user, who lives in West Des Moines (a soon-to-be Google Fiber city), showed several different points around the city where traffic lights are clearly visible at intersections.

Update 7/9: Google has confirmed to The Verge that it is testing traffic lights in certain areas around the United States.

To help people stay better informed on the road, we’re testing a Google Maps feature on Android that shows the location of traffic lights in select cities across the U.S.

It’s not live on my Pixel 4 XL, which is currently using the latest Google Maps version.
