Abstract: The speed control is the major technique used to reduce accidents. This paper represents control strategy for controlling the vehicles maximum speed in traffic lanes by calculating the traffic density in that particular area by using google maps. The traffic density is taken through Image processing. In google maps, density is shown on the basis of color. Based upon that traffic density, the maximum speed of the vehicle will be limited and the message will be shown in the display connected in the vehicle.  This helps to reduce accidents due to rash driving in medium traffic lanes. By implementing this system in real time speed of the automobiles can be regulated in the defined range.
