The Traffic instrument is a very clutering thing, that is on the way of anything on the screen, right?
well about putting it in the distance ring, you make it the size you need, and all the traffic within it would be shown, Above, planes in Blue pointing the direction of travel, of course
At same altitude in Red, and bellow in Green. now you have a permanent, unclutered true traffic depiction near you, I also wich that ALL instruments would be in a different layer, one TAP away from the chart
