Steps
Using Google Maps
Open Google Maps on your Android. It’s the map icon typically found on the home screen or in the app drawer.
Tap the ≡ menu. It’s at the top-left corner of Maps.Advertisement
Scroll down and tap Settings.
Scroll down and tap Notifications.
Tap Traffic. It’s the first option.
Slide ″Traffic from nearby events″ to Off.
Slide ″Traffic nearby″ to Off. You will no longer be notified of traffic problems in your area.Advertisement
Using the Google App
Open the Google Feed. If your Android launcher supports the Google Feed (formerly Google Now), you can usually swipe right across the home screen to access it. Otherwise, tap the Google icon in the App Drawer to open it now.
Tap the ≡. Depending on your Android it’ll be at the top or bottom of the screen.
Tap Settings.
Tap Your Feed.
Slide the ″Commute and time to leave″ switch to Off. This option may be called ″Time-critical commute alerts″ on some versions. This prevents your Android from notifying you of any traffic hangups in the area.Advertisement
