## What is Speed Limit Camera?

Traffic Sign Camera helps you see your current speed and the detected speed limit at a glance while you drive. It combines live camera recognition with map-based speed-limit lookup from OpenStreetMap, then shows the result in a clear driving display with a GPS speedometer.

► Top Features
• Live camera-based recognition of European speed limit signs.
• OpenStreetMap speed-limit lookup for roads, city areas, zones, and places where physical signs may be missing.
• Smart merging of camera and map sources into one overall speed-limit display.
• GPS speedometer with color feedback when you approach or exceed the current limit.
• Sound alerts for newly detected signs and overspeed warnings.
• CarPlay support for viewing speed and limit information on your dashboard.
• Configurable km/h or mph units, speed tolerance, warning threshold, camera mode, and map query interval.
• Ultra wide camera support on compatible iPhones for a broader view of roadside signs.

► How It Works
Traffic Sign Camera watches the road ahead with your iPhone camera, finds possible speed-limit signs with on-device machine learning, and reads the sign value with Vision text recognition. At the same time, it can use your current location and course to request map-based speed-limit data. The app combines both sources so you can keep your eyes on one simple limit display.

► Important Limitations
Traffic Sign Camera is a driver assistance tool, not a replacement for your attention or local traffic law.
• Optimized for European speed limit signs. US speed limits are not currently supported.
• Poor lighting, bad weather, dirty windows, unusual signs, or narrow curves can reduce camera recognition quality.
• The app does not currently detect every end-of-limit, town boundary, or special-case road rule.
• Map data depends on OpenStreetMap coverage and an internet connection.
• Missed or incorrect detections can occur. Always follow posted signs and local rules.

### 1/5 — Pas de carte

*2026-04-21*

Appl pas précise : vitesse autorisée 110 km - vitesse affichée : 90 km
Il n’y a pas de carte
On ne peut pas rajouter des points dangereux

### 1/5 — Not working as described

*2026-04-10*

Shows on CarPlay but says I send to subscribe even though I paid for subscription.  Speed limits rarely show and wrong more than correct.

### 2/5 — worked OK, then quit. developer unresponsive.

*2026-02-28*

it worked marginally during the trial period, so i bought a year’s subscription.  then it stopped getting speed limit data from open maps, which every other speedometer program was able to do immediately.  emailed developer. i ran through basic troubleshooting (reboot, uninstall/reinstall) to no avail.  emailed developer a few days later. after a week i just uninstalled it and got a refund. waste of time.

### 3/5 — Bei Dunkelheit nicht brauchbar

*2025-12-02, version 2.12*

Die App funktioniert bei Tageslicht gut, ab Einbruch der Dunkelheit erkennt sie selbst bei beleuchteten Straßen gar nichts mehr. Deswegen leider nur 3 Sterne.

### 4/5 — Much improved

*2025-11-29*

Have had subscription version for over 1 year. Glad I stuck with it after initially poor 1 star review. Latest version a major improvement, camera now functions on uk roads so giving greater responsiveness and accuracy. Will continue to use as a vital aid in trying to stick to the myriad changes of speed limits on modern roads.

### 1/5 — Useless for my region

*2025-11-28, version 2.12*

It does not show the speed at all, it does not read the speed signs

### 1/5 — Not compatible With Carplay

*2025-10-21, version 1.95*

When it starts, Carplay crashes. You have the choice between controlling speed and reaching destination…

### 5/5 — 普通にできるね

*2025-06-29*

多分このアプリは日本で使うなら正確に測れない標識もあるかもしれんが一応あんま実用性じゃないかな日本だとでこれヨーロッパかアメリカ推奨かな

### 2/5 — Nutzung in Schweden

*2025-06-12, version 1.95*

Leider funktioniert die Erfassung der Geschwindigkeitsschilder mit der Kamera nicht. Habe alles probiert. Kamera auf S/W, mit Weitwinkel und ohne. Kein Erfolg. Darstellung wäre gut, aber ohne Kamerafunktion nicht viel wert.

### 4/5 — Installation easy Verkehrszeichenerkennung ausbaufähig

*2025-04-30*

Downloads und Installation der App war einfach gestaltet und erfolgte reibungslos. Die Verkehrszeichenerkennung ist jedoch noch ausbaufähig. Die App scheint vor allem in der Bildschirm Mitte nach Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung zu suchen, so dass bei meiner urbanen Testfahrt doch ein großer Anteil, der Schilder nicht erkannt wurde. Die App erkennt nur runde Schilder. Ein Update zum erkennen von anderen Warnschildern(Achtung) wäre wünschenswert. Fahrten auf Autobahn und Bundesstraße stehen aber noch aus.

## Frequently asked questions about Speed Limit Camera

### What does the Speedometer Limit Camera app do?

This app detects European speed limits in real-time using your phone's camera and map data. It displays your current speed alongside the detected speed limit and provides warnings if you are driving too fast. It also offers CarPlay support for a seamless in-car experience.

### How does the app detect speed limits?

It uses a hybrid detection method. The app's camera recognizes European speed limit signs while you drive. This is enhanced by map-based data from OpenStreetMap, which provides information for areas without physical signs, like city zones. Both sources are combined for reliable speed limit indications.

### Is the app free to use?

The app is free to download and use, offering core functionality. An optional in-app purchase is available to remove advertisements and enjoy an ad-free experience. This purchase helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the advanced detection features.

### What are the limitations of the app?

The app is optimized for European road signs only and does not support US speed limits. In low-light or adverse weather, camera recognition may be less accurate. It also may not detect 'end of limit' or town boundary signs, and occasional missed or false detections can occur.

### Who is this app designed for?

This app is designed for drivers in Europe who want to stay informed about current speed limits and avoid speeding. It's particularly useful for identifying speed limits in urban areas or zones where signs might be absent or easily missed.
