Speed Adviser

Editor's Review

Speed Adviser is your ultimate driving companion designed to enhance road safety and reduce speeding incidents across New South Wales. 🚗💨 By leveraging your phone's GPS capabilities, this innovative app actively monitors your location and speed, providing timely visual and audible alerts whenever you exceed the speed limit. Specifically tailored for NSW roads, Speed Adviser ensures you're always aware of the current speed restrictions, helping you drive safely and responsibly. 🚦

Key Features and Benefits:

Never Be Unsure of the Speed Limit Again: Speed Adviser accurately displays the speed limit for the road you're currently traveling on. 🛣️ It boasts a comprehensive database covering all roads in NSW, including school zones and their operational hours. The app is continuously updated with the latest speed zone data, ensuring you receive the most accurate information. ℹ️

Customizable Notifications: Tailor the app to your preferences by choosing how Speed Adviser notifies you of speed limit changes. Select a male or female voice to announce the new speed limit, opt for a simple sound effect, or rely solely on visual alerts – a speed limit symbol with a flashing yellow background. 🔔

Speeding Alerts: If you exceed the speed limit, Speed Adviser provides both audible and visual alerts to remind you to maintain a safe speed. ⚠️ The alerts will repeat if you continue to speed, ensuring you remain vigilant. 👀

School Zone Awareness: Always be informed when entering an active school zone. 🏫 Speed Adviser knows the location and operating hours of every school zone in NSW, including gazetted school days and non-standard times. The app displays the 40 km/h speed limit and indicates when the zone is active. 🎒

Optimized for Night Driving: Speed Adviser automatically switches between day and night modes using an internal database of sunrise and sunset times. The night mode reduces eye strain by emitting less light and saves your preferred brightness setting for future use. 🌙

Seamless Multitasking: Audible alerts from Speed Adviser continue to play even when the app is running in the background, allowing you to use other apps while still receiving important announcements and warnings. 📱

Important Warnings:

Learner and Provisional (P1 and P2) drivers are not permitted to use this app. 🚫 Always comply with NSW Road Rules and use the app responsibly. Ensure your phone is mounted in a commercial phone mount and does not obstruct your view of the road. ⚠️ To prevent battery drain, use your car's power socket while operating Speed Adviser and always shut down the app when you finish driving. 🔋

Privacy Matters: Speed Adviser respects your privacy and does not collect data or report speeding events to Transport for NSW or any other organization. 🔒

Stay Safe, Stay Informed: With Speed Adviser, you can drive with confidence, knowing you have a reliable tool to help you stay within the speed limits and keep our roads safe. Drive smart and protect yourself and others! 👍
