Grab’s in-app speeding alerts are now harder to miss

We’ve updated our in-app speeding alerts to make it easier for our driver-partners to keep track of speed limits on the road.

Our driver navigation tool, Grab Navigation, tracks the car’s speed to detect when a driver-partner is going beyond a road’s speed limit.

The speed meter on Grab Navigation displays the car’s speed against the speed limit of the road. The meter turns red once the speed limit is breached.

We’ve now introduced a stronger nudge, for situations where driver-partners further exceed speed limits, triggered when they reach 25km/h above the limit. These alerts were designed to catch the attention of driver-partners without disrupting their driving.

In the latest version, driver-partners will see a red glow around the borders of their phone screens when they’ve exceeded the speed limit by 25km/h. It will disappear once they are back within the speed limit.

Our local teams on the ground continually maintain the accuracy and coverage of our database of road speed limits.

These speeding alerts are currently available in Singapore, some cities in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam. We are working on gathering a more comprehensive set of speed limit data across the region in order to roll this feature out in more cities.
