Google is rolling out in Maps the speedometer so that your eyes can see the app for both direction and speed. If you do not have it right now, be patient. Keep checking the settings of Maps app to know if you have received the latest speedometer on your map. In fact, the speed camera trap helps you to report a traffic jam or an incident.
