A reportrelating to an attribute of a speed limit enforcement device is received at the serverfrom a mobile device. The confidence value associated with the speed limit enforcement device is adjusted in accordance with the received report, and information relating to the speed limit enforcement deviceis selectively transmitted to the or another mobile devicebased on the confidence value.
