Speed Limits API Overview

The Roads Speed Limit API is a service that provides speed limit data for specific road segments based on a list of geographic coordinates. Given a set of latitude/longitude pairs, the API identifies the road segments they correspond to and returns the speed limits for those roads. This service supports multiple coordinates in a single request and ensures each point is mapped to the correct road segment to retrieve the most accurate speed limit data.

Why SpeedLimits API?

This API is essential for any application that relies on up-to-date speed limit data. Whether optimizing routes for efficiency or ensuring compliance with road safety standards, having access to accurate speed limit information is critical. It can also support driver safety by alerting users to speed limit changes or over-speed conditions during navigation.

What can SpeedLimits API help with?

The Roads Speed Limit API is designed to enhance applications by providing accurate and relevant speed limit information for road segments. It is useful for:
  • Navigation and Route Planning: Helping drivers stay within legal speed limits during trips.
  • Fleet Management: Ensuring vehicles in a fleet are adhering to speed restrictions, improving safety and compliance.
  • Traffic Safety Applications: Providing critical data for safety alerts, speed enforcement, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
  • Telematics and Insurance: Use speed limit data to analyze driving behavior, assess risk, and calculate insurance premiums.
By returning reliable speed limit data for road segments, the Roads Speed Limit API enables applications to deliver valuable insights and ensure safe, compliant driving experiences.
