One of the needs for dynamic traffic management is a system that gives an operator quick and precise access to actual traffic and road data. These data can be presented in tables, diagrams and maps. A traffic management map has to be clear and simple, so a stylized map seems a good approach, especially when combined with the possibility to show different levels: an overview of the road network in the whole country as well as a detailed view of traffic lanes. Other requirements for the map are actuality and maintainability. In this pilot is studied how such a stylized map for traffic management can be produced. Starting with digital data sources, a map database was filled and processed to construct the map objects, reflecting the user requirements. The next step was putting the data into a presentation system that also handled the process of stylizing the map. With these steps, the process was completely designed and followed, some needs for further developments were defined and a set of example maps was produced.
