My car, which is 14 years old, doesn't have such a feature. Despite that

contained in map data. Why then would the car need to read roadside signs?

OK, I'll concede that there are sometimes temporary limits in place
because of roadworks and so on, but that's the exceptional case.

It's not exceptional in Denmark. P.t. there are major repairs and
expansions on the motorways in Jutland. The won't be finished till 2026.

Okay, that's not everyday life, But I regularly see temporary speed
around road work.

Google Maps, which I use, is updated by user input and statistics, so it
takes some time until it gets it right.

Aside: GM has impressed me a couple of times. It gave me a route which
led to a road closed by road workers. A naive navigation would have
insisted on the same route, but when I turned the car around, GM gave me
another route that was open.
