Got this unit last week, my first GPS. Can anyone tell me why certain
sections of the road are painted yellow, and red? Is this from the
traffic feed?

Generally, if you haven't turned on the traffic map, no. (IIRC, the
traffic paints the sides of the road anyway, not the road itself.)
The main map colors indicate class of road: red for what's generally
limited-access highway, yellow for main thoroughfares, white for
secondary roads. If you see green roads, that's the traffic map, and
green's no more than light congestion, yellow's moderate congestion
(maybe slowed to 50% or less of normal speeds), red's "expect to be
stopping regularly" level of congestion. And, of course, conditions
shown are all delayed from real-time by 5-30 minutes...
