    How does it determine the limit?

    Also literally all this would do is startle everyone especially people who drive new cars and make residential areas louder.

      Most have GPS position and reference a database or they use cameras to see speed signs, sometimes both with one having priority over the other.

      It isn’t always accurate.

        Honestly what I’m more concerned about is work zone speeds that often don’t get updated on the GPS. Anyone relying on the beep to set speed (which is stupid but likely) will blast through it.

          Work zones luckily have all those pretty orange signs and cones to ensure someone knows it is a work zone, don’t need a nuisance beep to know that. As if a beep could stop someone from being a reckless jackass in a work zone.
