Comprehensive Safety Alerts

It also gives advance notice of any upcoming speed limit changes in the environment, which both helps drivers obey traffic laws and avoids tickets.

It also provides enhanced voice and visual instructions for roundabouts, instructing drivers on when to enter them and which lane they should be in for the duration of passage.
