Verbal Speed Camera Alerts should be on constantly or make a button
In the UK, people loved Waze, simply due to its Verbal Alerting behaviour for everything. But a few months ago, speed camera verbal alerts were turned off if you're under the speed limit.
Not only is this dangerous but it could cause speeding tickets. Let me explain with this is problematic:
1) firstly, the main priority should be to get out eyes off the screens and on the road. It's self explanatory, if I'm constantly having to look fir the speed camera sign on the app and my eyes are off the road then this is a disaster waiting to happen at 70mph. Please note, not everyone needs to speed to be made aware of a camera, we should just be alerted.
2) the new feature is that you need to be above the speed limit to be warned/alerted of a camera, but in the UK we have smart motorways (which aren't smart but are a pain). On these motorways we have speed limits that change according to the traffic and can be 20mph now and 60mph the next hour, the cameras here are also set to change their flashing threshold per the updates, but for Waze, how does it make sense that I will only be alerted if I'm going 61mph when the live speed limit change is 30mph.
3) what if I'm under the speed limit 500meters behind the camera and then don't see the icon on screen or the camera as I get closer and get flashed doing 24 in a 20 zone and since the last year UK has changed from average 30 zones to 20 and this makes going over 20mph very easy by accident.
Please fix this issue OR LET US CHOOSE AND GIVE US A BUTTON.
If you don't want us having constant speed camera alerts, whether below, at or above the speed limit, then please AT LEAST GIVE US THE OPTION.
Just make a toggle button and everyone will be happy.
This is a big talk in the UK car scene right now and unsure why more tickets have not yet been made.
