A few times people have asked me what the speed limit is for a particular road near a fixed or mobile speed camera. The only way I've been able to find the speed is to review the video footage or using Google Street View. Both approaches are time consuming and also could be out of date. People can also do this themselves. Recently I was investigating speed zone data and found for NSW, the government provides access to a map which can let people know the speed limit on roads in NSW. Whilst the NSW data may also be out of date so care needs to be taken, it now provides another option for those in NSW to check the speed limit of a road. To make it even easier for people to find the speed of the road at a speed camera location I've added an option to the Detail page for a speed camera which provides a link to the location on the NSW map. To find the speed limit for a speed camera in NSW first locate the speed camera on the Speed Camera Locations site. If found on the map click on camera icon to see further information and then click on the Details link. If found using the Locate option click on the link to display the Detail page. On the Details page you'll see the new option "Check Speed Limit". Click on the Check Speed Limit link and you'll open the NSW map where you can check the speed limit for a road. Click on the green line on the road at the location you're interest in and a pop-up will appear showing the speed limit information. You can also use the map to find the speed limit for any road in NSW. For those in NSW I hope this new feature is useful. Hopefully in the future I'll be able to provide similar features for other states. Kelvin Eldridge |
