Excuse me guys but the speed of roads.is a constant - it is always 0 mph except for very short stretches of swing-bridges, and lifting bridges. :D
Well, even when stationary, I've never been passed by one! |

At the equator just over 1000 miles per hour (multiply by cosine of your latitude to see how fast where you are).
Earth is also moving around the Sun at about 67,000 miles per hour.
(OK I'm bored  ) |

Ah but.... we are on a eliptical orbit so in during winter (northern hemisphere) we are closer to sun and hence travelling faster as we are slung out away from the sun 
Ahhh and also bring into the equation the fact that our solar system is spinning relative to the milky way... and our milky way is spinning like my head and that's with New Year celebrations still to come
Cheers and all the best

Have a look at this thread it might be of help.
I've given the same answer to your other posting.
This is a TomTom Forum and you might get better help from the Destinator Forum.
