Maps that existed before phones/computers didn't give you realtime traffic conditions for roads.

If Google Maps shows mass road closures then something's up, and it's worth it to double check with other sources. At least in the US, various state-level Departments of Transportation will sometimes provide road closure data to the public, or warnings/notices in the case of big accidents. Worst case you turn on the TV or radio to see if there's news of a massive local traffic pileup.
