Method and system for providing speed limit alerts

A client device for providing speed limit alerts in a vehicle, the client device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a communication network;
• a user interface;
• a non-transitory computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors, the communication network, and the user interface, and storing thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the client device to:
• obtain an indication of a threshold speed above a posted speed limit for providing an alert to a user;
• determine a current location of the user when the user is travelling in a vehicle on a vehicle trip;
• obtain, via the communication network, a posted speed limit for the vehicle based on the current location of the user;
• determine a speed of the vehicle;
• when the vehicle exceeds the threshold speed above the posted speed limit:
• provide an audible alert to the user;
• and
• provide a visual alert to the user, wherein the visual alert includes a display on the user interface with an indication that the vehicle is exceeding the threshold speed above the posted speed limit;
• and
• provide a map display to the user including map data corresponding to a route in which the user previously travelled during the vehicle trip, wherein the map display includes an indication of a proportion of a duration or distance of the route in which the user travelled above the posted speed limit;
• wherein the instructions are automatically executed by the one or more processors on the client device when the user begins travelling in the vehicle.
