Those of you that are members of the BlackBerry Beta Zone (and qualified) have probably already had the chance to test the BlackBerry Traffic application while it was in private beta. In case you’re unfamiliar with the Traffic app, here’s what it’s about:

With lots of places to go, and people to see, planning to be where you need to be on time can be a challenge. Thanks to BlackBerry® Traffic, you can easily plan to be where you need to be—on time.1 Get your estimated time of arrival (ETA), find out if a road is closed, or decide to take an alternate route, all ahead of time. Heading to a friend’s place? Simply grab their address from your BlackBerry contact list, get your ETA, then email or text it along with a preset message to avoid keeping them waiting and wondering when you’re going to arrive. Making – and keeping – plans just got a whole lot easier.

The BlackBerry Traffic app is now available as a public beta and can be downloaded from the App World for free. According to the App World page, it’s available for all devices and all carriers for users within the United States and Canada. Check it out and be sure to leave some feedback in the comments!
