SpeedCheck — Smart Speed Monitor & Camera Alerts for Ghana

Drive safely, stay informed, and avoid costly speeding fines.

SpeedCheck is a dedicated driving assistant designed specifically for motorists in Ghana. With automated MTTD speed camera enforcement now active across major roads and highways, staying aware of your current speed is more critical than ever.

SpeedCheck works silently in the background while you drive, using real-time GPS tracking and clear voice alerts to warn you before you exceed personal speed limits or legal highway thresholds. Keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel—SpeedCheck handles the rest.

🌟 Key Features
🗣️ Hands-Free Voice Alerts (Text-to-Speech)
Approaching Alerts: Receive proactive spoken warnings before you hit your limit (e.g., "You are approaching 80 kilometers per hour").
Limit Exceeded Alerts: Immediate, distinct warnings when your speed is over the allowed limit (e.g., "Slow down. Current speed is above your limit").
Smart Cooldown: Intelligent alert spacing ensures voice prompts are helpful and urgent without being annoying or repetitive.
Customizable Audio: Choose between male or female voices and adjust the speech rate and volume to cut through road noise.
📍 Auto-Detect Ghana Speed Camera Zones

Automatically detects your proximity to major monitored camera corridors in Greater Accra and adjusts your target speed limit dynamically:

N1 Highway (George W. Bush Motorway): Fiesta Royale Hotel & Baah / Bar Junction
Borteyman Sports Facility Corridor: T-Junction & surrounding arterial links

Kanda Highway: Monitored speed stretches
