Faster-road planning

Build confidence reading signs early, selecting a lane, joining safely and leaving a longer following distance as speeds rise.

Roundabout observations

Signal-controlled junctions

Why this is included: OpenStreetMap contains 5 traffic-signal map points within the mapped radius.

Lower-speed road awareness
