The city of Geneva has a fairly good Geneva realtime traffic map that allows you to zoom in and see, for example, if it’s better to go from the WTO to Plainpalais via the train station or over the Mont Blanc bridge. You’ll need a cell phone that lets you check web sites if you want to look while in your car – worked on an iPhone when I tried it. But what I found most useful was the realtime report on the number of parking spaces available in city parking garages. Note that the French version seems to work better than the English one, which didn’t allow me to zoom, for example (this could have been a temporary problem).
