Speed Limits for Commercial Vehicles

When you expand your database to include commercial speed limits, Samsara will automatically use the appropriate speed limit data based on vehicle type, weight, and location. If commercial speed limit data is available for a specific road, it will be used to:

This functionality mirrors how passenger vehicle speed limit data is currently utilized.

To ensure high data quality, Samsara licenses commercial speed limit data from the same third-party vendor that provides data for passenger vehicles. This information is updated quarterly, in sync with the quarterly GSLD updates.

In cases where commercial speed limit data is unavailable for a road segment, Samsara defaults to using the existing passenger speed limit data. If necessary, you can manually edit the speed limit using the Map Editor when you override the speed limit.

Speed limit types: Passenger Truck/Goods Vehicle No weight Under 2 tons Between 2 to 3.5 tons Between 3.5 to 7.5 tons Between 7.5 to 12 tons Over 12 tons Bus

To apply commercial speed limits accurately, you must both enable Commercial Speed Limits and upload vehicle weights. Without vehicle weight data, Samsara cannot determine whether a vehicle qualifies for commercial speed limits, and standard limits will apply instead.
