This sort of information is usually built in the maps but is not extensively used. Hence you get the occasional alert.

Every point of every road would need to be marked with a speed limit or a point / marker to state you are entering a new limit. The amount of data involved would be huge and prone to errors as speed limits are changed from time to time.

Better to spend your time learning the highway code and using the signs by the side of the road to tell you the speed limit than relying on a third party tool that could be wrong.
