Audible speed camera alerts
Unfortunately the Waze support team insist I post a suggestion despite it being posted numerous times already and it being ignored completely..
We NEED audible speed camera alters regardless of speed. I find myself staring at the screen far too often to see when there's a speed camera approaching on the motorway and find this unsafe. I would feel a sense of calm having an audible alert EVEN IF I am going below the speed limit.
How would the app react currently if I'm doing 70mph, near a speed camera and then accidentally just go over by 2-3mph just as the camera is approaching? The app would have displayed an alert on screen but would not have triggered the audible speed camera alert in time since I'd be going over the limit.. I'd be left with a speeding fine.
This could be avoided completely by giving US, the users and community the choice to have the speed camera alerts on regardless of speed or only when above the speed limit.
Also, what the car detects as 70mph, the app sees as 67-68mph and is not in sync. This creates a huge problem in itself.
Why leave a margin for error?
Why create an environment where users are spending more time staring at a screen looking for a speed camera on a motorway, taking their eyes off the road??
Why restrict what drivers can and cannot hear?
Why can we not decide for ourselves what alerts we want to hear and when?
Why does it have to take multiple suggestion posts and multiple votes for something soo incredibly critical to be recognised and implemented.
I've submitted this at the request of the Waze support team who were not interested to help despite being informed of several pre-existing suggestion posts.
I would request for every member of the community to upvote this suggestion so some action can finally be taken.
We must have audible speed camera alerts regardless of speed. Give us a toggle to active this if you must.
