I'd gladly pay a couple €/month for a live traffic and construction data service from OM.
It wouldn't even need to be unfree as the service's value would almost entirely be its data, not the software which facilitates it.
The issue is mostly not about paying for the info, but rather about how to obtain said info without collecting location data of all users in an intrusive way like Google does.
You can add a traffic layer from GMaps to OsmAnd+:

Does this re-route based on traffic conditions and travel times as well, or simply show the traffic conditions on the map?
It is not used for routing.
Thanks. I figured not but didn't see anything that stated that definitely.
Yeah, really need traffic data with route alternative.
