Need help avoiding speed traps? Well, it looks like Google Maps has your back on this one.

It is said that popular app, Google Maps, will be rolling out a new feature to allow users to see speed limits in their area and even speed cameras. IOL reports that in addition to South Africa, the feature will be rolled out in Australia, India, Hungary, Morocco, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.
"On Google Maps the speed limit will appear in the bottom corner of the app while the speed traps will appear as icons on the road themselves," it was published in an article.
