Avoid speeding tickets, drive safely and save lives. Speeding is the most common contributing factor to road deaths in NSW. Speed Adviser is a driver's aid designed to reduce speeding and save lives. Using the GPS capability of your iPhone, the Speed Adviser app monitors your location and speed, and alerts you via visual and audible warnings if you exceed the speed limit. Speed Adviser is for NSW roads only. NEVER BE UNSURE OF THE SPEED LIMIT AGAIN Speed Adviser displays the speed limit for the road you are travelling on. Speed Adviser knows the speed limit on all roads in NSW, including all school zones and their operating hours. The app uses the latest speed zone data. BE NOTIFIED OF SPEED LIMIT CHANGES You can nominate how Speed Adviser tells you of a change in the speed limit. You can elect to have the new speed limit spoken in a male or female voice, to hear a simple sound effect, or to disable all audio alerts entirely and rely on the visual alert (speed limit symbol with a flashing yellow background). TOO FAST! Speed Adviser will play an audible alert and a visual alert if you are speeding, to remind you to keep safely within the sign posted speed limit. If you continue to exceed the speed limit, Speed Adviser will repeat the audible and visual alerts. SCHOOL ZONES Always know when a school zone is active. Speed Adviser knows where and when every school zone in NSW operates, including gazetted school days and non-standard school times. Speed Adviser lets you know if the school zone is active and will display the speed limit of 40 km/h. NIGHT DRIVING Speed Adviser uses an internal database of sunrise and sunset times to automatically switch between day and night modes. The night mode emits less light, and so reduces eye strain while driving. Speed Advisor also automatically saves your preferred brightness setting. RUN OTHER APPS AT THE SAME TIME Audible alerts from Speed Adviser still play when the app is running in the background. This means you can have other apps operating and still hear announcements and warnings from Speed Adviser. L PLATE AND P PLATE DRIVERS Learner and Provisional (‘P1 and P2’) drivers are not permitted to use this app. WARNINGS You must not adjust the app while driving. You must comply with the NSW Road Rules and not use the app or your smartphone in any manner contrary to the Road Rules. Always have your phone in a commercial phone mount when using a driver’s aid such as Speed Adviser, in accordance with the NSW Road Rules, and ensure your phone does not obscure your view of the roadway. Because it takes a lot of power to run the GPS hardware in your iPhone, and to reduce battery drain on your phone, you should use your car’s power socket while operating Speed Adviser. Also, you should always shut down the app when you are finished driving. PRIVACY Speed Adviser does not collect data or report speeding events to Transport for NSW or any other organisation or agency.

How I use this app with navigation map app & don’t have current speed meter

It’s is Good app but it’s very difficult to use this app with google map or some other navigation app. This app gives only audio alert. One thing more can u please add vehicle current speedometer with speed limit. It gives alert when exceeding speed 10km/hr than speed limit that is not Good. Need widget for speed limit Thanks

Speed data is not current and needs more refinement.

If anyone would know the speed limits in NSW you would think it would be Transport for NSW. Alas, this is apparently not the case. No where near it even. The app gives too many wrong speed limits, like for example approaching the harbour tunnel on from the north, it incorrectly shows 60k when it is 80k. There used to be a couple of hundred meters of 60k - years ago - long gone! Same on the Cahill Express way going into the tunnel. Frankly I would not trust this app until T for NSW get the data updated. Also there are no warnings unless you are actually over the speed limit, and it can take a couple of hundred meters before a warning is given. A warning when approaching active school zones would be great, because if you miss the sign then you can be through a camera before a warning is given. All up the idea is great, but needs further development and data updated to correctly reflect speed zones.

Would be good if not for

Only discovered this recently after noticing sneaky third party mobile speed traps on ambiguously signed sections of road (really disgusting revenue promotion strategy, NSW Police/Government).App would be used constantly if not for the alerts volume not working: so the alerts are super loud when listening to anything else. It shocks my little daughter with “why is that man shouting at us?” I’ve tried it on two different iPhones.

I have downloaded this app and reinstalled it several times now and it continues to give the same message “waiting for gps signal” , I have a iPhone 13 Pro fully updated with everything switched on but this app doesn’t want to operate. It’s a complete waste of taxpayers money and I would like to know how much money was spent developing it, I would assume it should have been released on April fools day as it’s a joke. It’s like a television that can’t be tuned to receive any channels.
