What is No Time to Speed iOS App?
San Francisco speed-camera safety alerts—no navigation required. Get a gentle heads-up near cameras and when you’re driving over the posted limit.
Problem
Users in San Francisco rely on navigation apps (e.g., Waze, Google Maps) for speed-camera alerts, which requires active navigation and may distract drivers with unnecessary features.
Solution
An iOS app that provides real-time speed-camera safety alerts without requiring navigation. Users receive passive notifications near cameras and when exceeding speed limits, e.g., a gentle audio/vibration alert when approaching a known camera zone.
Customers
San Francisco-based drivers (demographics: tech-savvy, 25-45 years old) who prioritize road safety and seek minimal distraction, such as daily commuters, ride-share drivers, and delivery personnel.
Unique Features
Focuses solely on SF speed-camera zones with hyper-local data; operates passively without route setup; alerts for both camera proximity and speeding violations.
