In one example, a method may include decreasing a vehicle top speed in response to the vehicle being arranged in a geofenced area via the vehicle speed limiter. In at least one example, adjusting a magnitude of the vehicle top speed limiter to decrease a limiting of the vehicle top speed may be in response to an override request, where the override request is signaled via one or more of depression of a pedal of the vehicle in a pattern and a siren of the vehicle being activated.
