      My Volvo displays speed limits and I can have it beep if I go over, done by camera if I’m not mistaken, very rarely wrong.

        I had a car that did that as well, but it’s highly reliant on well maintained signs, so it was wrong probably 30% of the time for me

      One road I drive on frequently is posted 25, but Google Maps thinks it’s 55, which is a silly speed for that road with many turnouts. Meanwhile, the next road over, is also 25 and Google sees that one correctly, but going 55 on that road is nearly natural, with nothing but the road and usually green traffic lights every quarter mile.

      While Google Maps may be incorrect, government data should be nearly perfect.

      Also, you know you can suggest fixes in Google Maps, right?

        I wish I could share your faith in my local government

        I can suggest fixes, but realistically I’m never going to remember by the time I get home. Skill issue on my part, but such is life.
