The colours? Well green for go and red for stop seemed appropriate! I'm sure I got the idea of using buffer width from an ESRI case study into traffic speeds (City of Portland???). That would probably have much better graphics - though I sadly can't find it now by Googling. | |

However, I don't think you screen shot does justice to the idea (although, to be fair, I know you're just illustrating the idea) Ideas to improve it; the actual path doesn't stand out enough (to fix, fade everything else and lose the halo), your color palette isn't intuitive (fix with heat map yelow, orange, red instead?) | |
