Anywhere you can see speed limits of roads on a map?

I was having a conversation with a mate about good driving roads near us (around Manchester), and we thought there must be a map somewhere that shows the speed limits of roads.. as it would be cool to see the nearest curvy national speed limit road... But it seems there isn't?!

Found a couple of companies selling the data, but no one seems to have put it to use visually speaking.

I can see that Google provides the data for free via their Maps API - https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/r... - so theoretically, someone far techier than me could design something using the Maps API to do this.

Any takers!?

Download the Waze app, not to help you find the roads, but just tell you what the prevailing limit is.

I don't see the point in what you are looking for.

But, if it's just to find a bendy road, then look at a map, online like Google or Bing and find what you think looks like a bendy road and then look at the streetview to see if there are any limit signs or street lights. Then you will know to a reasonable extent what the limit is.

Best places to look are outside city/town limits. A hilly area probably increases your chances as well.

But better still is just go out and drive.
