5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
The problem - at least in Victoria - is that except for school zones in residential streets, the reduced speed limits only apply on school days and at certain times. So when approaching a zone, a driver needs to decide whether it is term-time or not (and if you don't have at least one schoolkid in your family, how would you know?) and, if it's anywhere near school start or finish times, to check the clock on the dash or a watch. While illuminated signs have been installed around many schools, it seems they are far from universal. And that's where iTraffic comes in. The $A5.99 app runs on an iPhone, and provides audible warnings as it approaches active school zones and known speed camera positions. iTraffic was developed by Graham Dawson, the creator of the Oz Weather app for the iPhone. Dawson and five colleagues formed AppOvation to market iTraffic. But what do early adopters think? Find out on page 2. |
