Need to adjust Time based on speed limits.
-
I assume travel time shown is based on posted speed limits. In the USA cars and trucks generally travel faster than speed limit at a minimum of 5 mph and motorcycles are 10 mph on streets and rural roads. On the interstates motorcycles are 10 to 15 mph faster than posted speed limits or 80 to 85 sometime 90 mph in 70 mph speed limit in rural areas.

My guess is that you cann’t ask the Devs team to do something against the law

@Richard-4j travel times are actually calculated from data the map providers have for the average speeds of traffic on each segment of road,
so a busy road with a speed limit will probably have a lower average speed than a quiet road with the same limit,
speed limits are not really a factor except for the fact that they supposedly regulate the upper limit of speed

this is a very reasonable request.
i stopped using another app because the times were not accurate and the app did not offer an option to apply a correction.
wether it is technically doable or not is another question. -

It's not against the law at least in the US that allows a user select the his actual travel speed when planning a route.

I understand the cartography companies include the government posted speed limits in there data. The MRA program is using that data to determine the travel times. I'm only requesting that MRA consider changing the software so their customers can adjust the travel time to the actual speeds they expect to travel at, be it faster or slower, to determine more accurate ETA time.
