Google Maps API - is only traffic level displayed?

I am using the Google Maps API to display traffic conditions in my area, and I was wondering if it is possible to hide the actual part of its map so that only the traffic level can be seen (green / red / yellow lanes and road names will be visible, but the background will be transparent or solid color instead of displaying the map).

Here's what I have so far:

$(function() {
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),
    {
        zoom: 12,
        center: new google.maps.LatLng(34.0204989,-118.4117325),
        mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
        disableDoubleClickZoom: true,
        draggable: false,
        scrollwheel: false,
        panControl: false,
        disableDefaultUI: true
    });

    var trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
    trafficLayer.setMap(map);
});

Here's a rough example of what I'm trying to accomplish: enter image description here

In the style master , this gives me a blank card.

[
  {
    "stylers": [
      { "visibility": "off" }
    ]
  }
]

snippet of code:

$(function() {
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 12,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(34.0204989, -118.4117325),
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
    disableDoubleClickZoom: true,

  });

  var trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
  trafficLayer.setMap(map);
});

you can try this:



    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
{
    zoom: 12,
    center: new google.maps.LatLng(34.0204989,-118.4117325),
    mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
    styles: [
        {
            featureType: 'poi',
            stylers: [
                { visibility: 'off' }
            ]
        },
        {
            featureType: 'road',
            stylers: [
                { visibility: 'off' }
            ]
        },
        {
            featureType: 'transit',
            stylers: [
                { visibility: 'off' }
            ]
        },
        {
            featureType: 'landscape',
            stylers: [
                { visibility: 'off' }
            ]
        },
        {
            elementType: 'labels',
            stylers: [
                { visibility: 'on' }
            ]
        }
    ]

});

var trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
trafficLayer.setMap(map);
