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!

Great news! The audio alert for speed camera regardless of the speed is now available in Waze. Install the latest app version to check it out.

Buenas tardes! Sería útil que hubiera una función para poder avisar sobre las cámaras de vigilancia, sobre el cinturón de seguridad en la app.
Luego también que se oscureciera un poco el mapa, al entrar a un túnel; no solamente cuando sea hora del atardecer. Gracias -

Waze Portugal já sugeri em outras ocasiões, inclusive por e-mail, o Waze ao avisar de um radar informar por voz o limite de velocidade dessa via. Evitava ter que olhar para o ecrã desviando os olhos da estrada. Fica a sugestão. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho.

Voice alert on all radars, even if you don't exceed the speed limit.
Show the speed limit assigned to the radar. -

Durante la navegación en ruta, no avisa de los radares mediante voz, se limita a hacerlo de forma visual y siempre tienes que estar mirando la pantalla. Solo avisa por voz cuando rebasas el límite. Estaría bien que avisara por voz en todo momento

Please add voice alerts for camers. For example if there is a speed camera the voice alert should say
approching speed camera 30mph zone. And repeat twice

The camera alerts on carplay only works when you are over the speed limit. Please make the alert regardless of speed! Sometimes your speed increases after the camera meter countdown popup and you start to increase without knowing there is a camera.

Sad News they took it away. So it is in fact not available

Thanks for your comment about this Glodenox.
It'd be helpful if Ella or another Admin could update the community as to why it was available then not, and if it will return one day ... permanently.

I seem to remember it was very briefly added in a beta version, but was removed again afterwards for some reason. Some countries have now decided that people should always get an alert for a speed camera (usually countries with not too many such cameras), while others have kept the alert configuration the same for their country (only add an audio alert when speeding).
This evidently should just be a user setting, and I also don't consider this idea as "now available".

This was supposedly an added feature back around Feb 2023. It's Jan 2025 and I can't see how to set this in either Android or IOS, and neither seem to always sound alerts for speed cameras. All handsets are set the same ...
Settings/Speedometer
Show on map ON
Show speed limit ALWAYS
Speeding threshold 10km/h above or 10% above (user dependent)
Alert when speeding ONSettings/Alerts & Reports/Cameras "Show on map, Alert when driving"
IOS v5.2.0.1, Android v5.2.0.3
What am I missing?

Activeer een stemgeluid voor alle flitspalen ongeacht de gereden snelheid. Momenteel is dit actief enkel indien snelheidslimiet is overschreden. Ik zou een auditieve melding willen ontvangen bij elke flitspaal ik tegenkom. Ik wil mijn ogen op de baan houden, dus een visuele melding is onvoldoende

Currently, speed camera voice alerts only sound if you are exceeding the speed limit. It should be possible to configure an optional setting where the speed camera alert always sounds, regardless of whether you are above or below the speed limit. This is because you might be driving below the speed limit just before passing the camera, so the alert doesn’t sound, and you’re unaware of its presence. If you then accelerate and pass the camera, you could exceed the speed limit. For this reason, I believe there should be an option to always enable the alert.

Now I use another app in the background just to have this option. I think it is very important to implement this option.

A setting for an audible speed camera alert regardless of driver's speed.

I may pass the point at which Waze measures my speed, then having missed the map alert inadvertently increase speed before the camera.
A speed camera alert is more important than a pot hole for example? -
Daniel Phillips commented
Try setting your "Speeding threshold" setting to "At speed limit" rather than any of the other values. That seems to help the sensitivity.

It alerted me to speed camera up until a few weeks ago, then it stopped. I see other people are having the same issue. Why are notifications always audible?

Deberían activar una opción para avisar siempre de los radares, incluso circulando por debajo del límite, ya que muchas veces se inicia un adelantamiento y puede exceder el límite en ese momento y al no avisar te pueden sancionar. Ademas otros vehículos tienen limitaciones más bajas que el propio límite de la vía, como es el caso de furgonetas o vehículos mixtos.

Just make a toggle for the current setting and an "always warn"
