Thanks for your suggestion! We are currently evaluating this request, but do not have any plans to implement it at the moment. Please star to add your vote and receive further updates, and feel free to add any comments to discuss your use case.

Any chance of this being taken up anytime soon?

Can we get a progress update?

I would like to request average travel time data for a specified link over a specified duration of time of the day and day of the week in seconds or smaller unit to be available in the traffic layer. I would like to use this in a traffic safety study and having access to this data can be very helpful to researchers in the transportation community.

This would be very helpful

I have the same requirement to show typical traffic data on maps API, Is this available now?

It would be extremely helpful. Is there any update on this feature request?

Yes, Traffic trend over a specific time period, even based on  week days / working days will be much help full for many applications. we are waiting for this api.

I am still hoping this feature becomes available in the API.  It has been implemented on the maps.google.com map, and is a much requested feature for our application.

How can I vote this?. It will be useful to have the "Typical Traffic" layer (based on weekday and time) as well as we have the "Live Traffic" layer now.

A StackOverflow post suggested showing support for this feature here, so... here I am!

I would also like to request that this feature be added to the API.

I would also like this !!!

Wow, thrilled to see that this has been assigned to an engineer.  Any idea what the target release version would be?

Please add this feature. thank you

some implementation forecast of this feature? Tks!

During this time of covid-19 crisis, many traffic data are not relevant anymore due to current traffic that is not "normal". Would it be possible to have an update on the release of this feature ?
That would be much appreciated. Thanks, best

Any hope for typical traffic data layer ?!

Looking for typical traffic API with day and time based

Can we please enable this, even expose the default UI control would be super helpful in the API. Thank you

This would be super-useful for all kinds of analyses! Please enable this.

We desperately need this feature. Please update the community on the progress. Thank you.

to day is Nov 6 2022 and we still waiting routes between two point with realtime traffic, becase https://routes.googleapis.com/directions/v2:computeRoutes is timebased traffic data

Please add this feature.
Hello everyone from  Portland Oregon -  

I would hope for some type of API method or function called by the user who provides the arguments
date
road location
direction of traffic
time

The workaround is to use the web based  google maps "typical traffic" combo box
Are there any other workarounds as we wait?

Once it was working at a basic level it might be improved in the next few years to accept more complex arguments or add a range function/method ()  
date start, date end
road location start, location end
direction of traffic
time start, time end

and the result would be the function returns an average based on the supplied ranges


In order to save the planet I beg for this feature addition.  We need data on Free Flow Speed or average speed or anything close.   .  Here in the USA there is a desire to build additional inefficient and polluting freeways and much less desire to build clean and efficient public transpiration systems.

In conclusion I just want to thank everyone on this thread and at Google.  The google maps web interface has a decent existing tool:   combo box allowing users to change from "Live traffic"  to "Typical traffic"  

The area I'm studying is here:
https://www.google.com/maps/@45.5423231,-122.674405,2256m/data=!3m1!1e3!5m1!1e1


The typical traffic history GUI was added in 2008

Thanks, Joe!

This feature still would be much appreciated! It would be awesome and I'm certain it would result in less queries to the Maps API if we could get historical data from a longer time period at one time.

This would be a very useful feature.

Please add this feature, it would be super useful for urban bike lane or public transportation planning

Kindly consider this feature as it would be very useful. thanks.

Any news about this feature?

This feature would be really useful. Any updates or ETA?

Please give is this data . I am interested in anonymized data to show traffic’s levels in a business over time similar to what we see on Google search results

Please make available "typical" traffic data so one can estimate travel duration for a specific route at a specific time of day. Thank you.

typical traffic to be allowed in API please
