We present a Godunov type numerical scheme for a class of scalar conservation laws with nonlocal flux arising for example in traffic flow modeling. The scheme delivers more accurate solutions than the widely used Lax-Friedrichs type scheme and also allows to show well-posedness of the model. In a second step, we consider the extension of the non-local traffic flow model to road networks by defining appropriate conditions at junctions. Based on the proposed numerical scheme we show some properties of the approximate solution and provide several numerical examples.
