Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for predicting or estimating the value of a variable speed sign (VSS). Probe data is received from multiple vehicles associated with a road segment. Location values are derived from the probe data. Center distance values are calculated based on the location values and the road segment. Clusters are derived from the probe data. Center distance values are grouped according to the respective clusters and a lane is assigned to at least one cluster based on the center distance values. The speed of the cluster predicts or estimates the corresponding lane of the VSS.
