Introduction

When Wazers follow a navigation route, the App will announce when entering an average speed zone and show a progression bar on the side of the screen. Only the announcement of entering the average speed zone occurs when Wazers are driving without navigation. The App does not compute/display an average speed, instead it continues to show the live speed.

Adding average speed zones

You may wish to use the WME Color Highlights script to help visualise which average speed zones have been set already.

Ensure the speed limits are mapped correctly along all segments within the average speed zone.

Select all segments within the average speed zone, from the first to the last camera or sign, and check the boxes for each direction that applies. For 1-way segments, only one box is shown.

Segments should only be split if the average speed zone begins or ends further than 100 metres from an existing node.

Each camera location should be mapped and for each direction of enforcement. WME doesn't have a camera type for average-speed cameras, so standard-speed cameras should be used.

Temporary average speed zones

Mapping average speed zones for events or roadworks may cause more issues than they solve due to the requirement for a map tile update before the changes reach the App. With advice from the UK Country Managers, careful consideration should be made when mapping long-term roadwork projects. If you do apply a temporary average speed zone, you must be prepared to be responsible for maintaining it and reverting it to a standard road when the roadworks are complete.
