Russian Internet search engine Yandex has begun posting real-time traffic information on 12 LED boards it has placed around Istanbul, daily Hürriyet reported today.

Yandex has collaborated with Outdoor TV to erect LED boards on Kadıköy Rıhtım Avenue and at Taksim Square, Beşiktaş Square, Mecidiyeköy Square, Bakırköy Freedom Square, as well as other key locations.

The boards display the real-time speed of traffic on main roads that connect to the junction at which the board is located. The information, which reaches a total audience of 2 million every day, is displayed every two minutes for 15 seconds.
