If you observe a discrepancy in the auto-detected speed limit in the Samsara dashboard, you can override the speed limits that Samsara automatically sets for your drivers. Speed limits can be edited directly from a speeding event, through the speed graph in the asset trip history, or using the Map Editor.
Overrides take effect immediately but apply only to future trips. They are not retroactive and do not affect speed graphs or speeding reports for completed trips.
To override speed limits, you must have a standard admin role or a custom role with Map Editor permissions with access to the entire organization.
Administrators with tag-based access cannot apply speed overrides, as these changes affect the entire organization. If an administrator with tag-based access requires map editor permissions, you can create and assign a custom role to the administrator that enables only these permissions for the entire organization.
To edit speed limits using the route from the asset's trip history, you can select segments to edit the speed limits in the Map Editor.
