Speed limit does not work, but snap to roads and the other features does


When I access this link : https://roads.googleapis.com/v1/speedLimits?path=38.75807927603043,-9.03741754643809|38.6896537,-9.1770515|41.1399289,-8.6094075&key=YOUR_API_KEY for google ROADS API it gives me the following error :

    {
  "error": {
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Speed limits are not available for this project.",
    "status": "PERMISSION_DENIED"
  }
}

I need to mention that the other links work (for snap to roads, nearest roads). Only this one throws and error. I made sure to enable the ROADS API in the dashboard and I checked the documentation where they talked about the reason for getting this type of error (and none of their fixes helped so far).


Solution

  • From the note at the top of the documentation page:

    Notice: The Speed Limit service is available to all customers with an Asset Tracking license. For Google Maps Platform Premium Plan customers who transitioned to pay-as-you-go pricing, the Speed Limit feature remains active on projects with Asset Tracking capabilities (projects with a project ID in the format maps-asset-xxx).
