The disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus for improved navigation notification based on localized traffic flow. A navigation system may comprise a transmitter, a receiver, and a processor, coupled to the transmitter and the receiver. The processor may be configured to determine a current lane position of the first vehicle, determine a target lane position for the first vehicle as a function of a navigation event point, determine a distance to the navigation event point, determine an alert time based on an estimate of traffic density, and provide an alert associated with the target lane position at the alert time. The estimate of traffic density may be based on traffic conditions in lanes between the current lane position and the target lane position and the distance to the navigation event point.
