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.

Good Morning,
I live in Brazil, in the city of São Paulo and I use Waze a lot.
Here in São Paulo there are many speed cameras and the fines are very frequent.
My sugestion:
I wish Waze would let me know whenever I had a radar, regardless of my speed. In this way I have the possibility of memorizing the places and thus avoid fines.
This problem of speeding in São Paulo is very big and if Waze could increase, improve warnings and alerts, it would help us a lot.Thank you,
Fernando Pimentel

HI
If i am driving in low speed (20 kph) (traffic jam), it makes no sence to alert for speed camera.
Since wase knows my speed, it can use this information to decide.
Thanks

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

I would like to set my own sound for speed notifications. the simple BEEP right now is too easy to ignore.

Waze should copy the behaviour of radardroid app about this case.

Waze must have an option if the user wants to get a notification sound even if he doesn't exceed the speed limit of the speed camera

It would be great if you could turn on sound notifications for speed cameras even when you're not speeding. If you make it as a configurable option, it won't annoy people who don't want them, but it would mean a great deal to a lot of us. It would also be great to be able to configure how far away from the speedtrap you get the notification.
The main reason for this request is that you have to look at your phone periodically to check for a camera, which is unsafe (even more if you are speeding).
Furthermore there are scenarios where the app thinks you're not speeding, because it has wrong data about the speed limit.
In my country it is very likely that the police are using a camera at the start of a restricted speed limit zone, in which case I will get the notification too late with the current version. -

I would like to select which alerts are audible.
If I am driving playing music,
I don't need an interruption telling me that there is fog or that someone is parked on a shoulder.
I prefer to just have an interruption notifying me that there are police. -

Yes and the sound should announce route CHANGES when on alerts only - deviations from initial or normal route should be includedin alerts

hi just got a new c3 2 months ago with the all in one screen so i put on your sat nave and found it bril but for 1 thing the speed cameras did not notify me with a sound i had tomtom before i got this new car and could turn sound of or on but looks like you do not have this on yours but dont you think for the sake of road safety it would be better for the driver to get sound as you have to take your eyes of the road to keep looking down at the screen to look for the flashing cameras hope you can sort this out on your next update for the sake of road safety

They should allow us to change alerts behavior, some people are annoyed by the constant speed trap alerts specially inside cities. However, the majority would like to receive speed trap alerts even while not exceeding the speed limit.

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!

Since Waze application presents the driving speed + the allowed speed, I suggest to add a buzzer capability that will be activated in case the driving speed exceeds the allowed speed.
Such vocal alert will assist the driver in being aware that the driving speed is illegal. This way Waze will contribute not only to safety but will let the driver be careful and avoid speed reports.
I suggest to add another feature to the above capability: to let the driver set 2 buzzers – the first one if the driving speed exceeds the allowed speed by up to 5%, and a second buzzer if driving
speed exceeds the allowed speed by over 5%. (5% should be settable by the user via Waze configuration menu).Please advise if you like it, and if your development team will make it become real.

This is a great idea we think waze is excellent and were drawn to it because of the suggetion that it alerted you to up and comming speed cameras. But to have just an on screen message that a speed camera is near catches me out as I'm not looking at the screen so a voice alert would be great.

Would be good if ALL red light cameras would trigger an alert, as currently only some do for whatever reason!

Recently, the warning (audible) for speed cameras was disabled when you're under the limit of the road. Unfortunately, it's quite possible to get faster in between. The warning on the screen remains, but it's not enough in my opinion.

Add the option to set specific sounds from the phone's notification sound files for specific alerts. e.g. set a specific notification sound for the over speed limit alert
