With more than 250,000 miles of road in the UK, knowing the speed limit can sometimes be difficult – putting lives and licences at risk.
The Road Angel Vantage is the answer to every motorist’s dream a dedicated safety camera and blackspot locator that displays the current legal speed limit of every road you drive. With built-in connectivity, the Road Angel Vantage also automatically and wirelessly updates its on-board database of safety cameras and blackspots every few minutes while you drive.
Graham Mackie, Managing Director of Road Angel Group said, ‘We spend a great deal of time listening to our customers and they tell us they are often uncertain as to what the legal speed limit is. The Road Angel Vantage solves this problem by displaying the speed limit of the road, alongside a reading of the vehicles actual speed, so drivers can be more aware of their speed and road safety’.
As well as automatic updates and road speed information the Road Angel Vantage boasts a new and improved slim-line look and stylish user interface, which can be customised to suit different dashboard displays. The 4.5-inch touch screen also allows users to easily change settings to suit their preferences.
Like other Road Angel ‘˜Connected’ products, the Road Angel Vantage has the unique CameraShareTM feature, allowing users to share the locations of LIVE safety camera vans at the touch of the screen.
Combining Road Angel Safety alerts automatic updates as you drive via built in mobile phone technology, and road speed limits, makes the Road Angel Vantage the UK’s most innovative dedicated safety camera and blackspot alert device.

About Road Speed Data
For many years, our customers have been asking us to help them understand the current legal speed limit of the roads they are driving, regardless of the presence of a safety camera or obvious road signage. However once we started looking into this we were amazed that there is currently no definitive digital speed limit database for the UK’s roads.
With over 250,000 miles of roads – collecting all of this data ourselves would have been an enormous job costing millions of pounds and, much like painting the Forth Bridge, would need constant attention year on year.
For the Road Angel Vantage we’ve teamed up with Navteq, who are owned by Nokia, to use the road speed limit database supplied as part of their navigation product suite. This ensures that we have all the major roads covered and get to hear when a new road or dual carriageway is being built. We realise that the data supplied by Navteq is not always going to be 100% accurate as local authorities are free to amend national speed limit recommendations as and when they need to.
This is why we have created SpeedShare„¢ which lets users suggest new or revised road speed limits at the touch of the screen.
We have been doing something similar with our Professional Connected customers for the last few years using our CameraShare„¢ feature as it gives us 10,000’s of eyes and ears out there all happy to tell us when a new safety camera has been installed or a mobile camera van has parked up.
Once an anomaly is reported, our dedicated team investigate the piece of road in question and adjust, where appropriate, the speed limit in our master database ready to download to you next time there is an update.
Over time we are confident that we will start to develop the only truly accurate picture of legal road speed limits in the UK.
The Road Angel Vantage retails at £249.99* incl. VAT
* A subscription charge of £54.99 per year or £129.99 for three years is required for updates to the safety camera and road speed databases.
