Hi all,

There’s strong agreement across the Victorian Waze community that we need audible alerts for every speed camera, regardless of current speed.

At the moment, Waze only plays a sound if you’re already speeding. Otherwise, it’s a silent visual popup — and this creates real safety issues:

Motorcycle riders cannot safely look at their phones, and a silent popup is easily missed with wind, traffic, and other sensory load.

Car drivers can miss the popup too, especially in busy driving environments.

If a driver unintentionally speeds up within 500 m of a camera, Waze gives no warning at all, because the alert has already triggered silently.

Users who don’t want audio can simply turn audio off, but users who do want full audio alerts currently have no way to enable them — the app does not allow choosing “audio for all cameras.”

This request has been raised in the past, but we still don’t have a clear answer. If full audio alerts truly cannot be enabled, can we please be told why the “speed threshold” for triggering audio cannot simply be set to 0? That would give all users the same consistent audible warning, while still allowing anyone who prefers silence to turn audio off entirely.
