# How it works

- Speed Zones are determined by mining speed citation data across the US.
- Drivers are warned if they are at least 5 mph over the speed limit.
- Driving speed is measured before and after the alert is shown to determine if the driver is complying with the alert
- Driving data is available in Safety+ Insights dashboard under "Speed Violation" zone category
