Enable audio alert for speed cams regardless of the speed.

Waze currently only triggers audio alerts about speed cams when the driver is above the speed limit of the specific cam.

Since the speed detection on Waze is very flawed (at least here in Brazil/Rio de Janeiro), and not all cams have their speed limit properly set, it would be MUCH better if Waze triggered it's audible alert for speed cams independently of the fact that the driver may be above or below the limit of the cam.

Thank you.
And keep up the good work!

    I agree, most of the cameras are just traps (at least here in Croatia) with no real impact on traffic safety. This feaure will be really handy, good idea.

    I agree notifications should be regardless of speed that's why I am switching to another app. Also lane guidance

    The fact that there is no speed camera alert at any speed is a disgrace! I am sticking with my cyclops app for now at least!

    O que está faltando no Waze é somente avisar com sinal sonoro aproximação de radar independente da velocidade.

    I totally agree. Weeks ago my waze used to say
    Radar reportado à frente . After the last actualuzation it disapeared !

    We should be given the option to chose whether we want the speed cameras to be always audibly alerted, or keep the currently audible alert only when over speed limit.

    I completely agree with this request, there should be an option what users can define if they want to be alerted regardless of the speed they are driving, above or below the traffic cam limit.

    Exactly! Same situation here (Brazil/Rio Grande do Sul).

    I heard this justification (on waze forum) for not change that:

    "Enabling it to trigger every single time even if you drive slower that the limit would cause a flood of complaints from people who don't want "annoying sounds" if they are not speeding. This likely not going to change."

    Well, a simple way do solve that, keep the default behavior, but add some switch to turn it off when needed, Brazils users sure will be thankfull.

    Best

    Tinha que ser igual ao igo amigo, você programa o alerta por voz, por exemplo: de 0 a 80 km/h ele avisa a 200 metros acima de 80 km/h ele avisa a 500 metros de distância do radar no mapa.

    Ola. Eu gostaria que tivesse alerta de voz independente da velocidade ao nos aproximarmos de radares.obrigado.

    The mayor introduced several radars with speed limit at only 40km/h. Consequently, the error margin is only 4km/h and unfortunately, for a such slow movement, the waze has not a sufficient precision and are not able to identify on time that the speed are slightly above the limit or not. Even if the measured speed is accurate, if the waze does not alert with a sound, it is highly possible that the speed changes 4km/h by any slight feet movement. Thus, considering the several changes of speed limit imposwd in our city, which confuse the driver, it is fair that at least we have a tool to be advised about a radar and the new speed limit for that location. I do hope Waze implement this suggestion as soon as possible. Otherwise, we are discussing in paralel forums to support alternative tools from other providers.
