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.

Simply notify driver when the speed limit decreases-helpful on highways when going through town. Got a ticket because highway limit is 75 but dropped to 60 and didn't see sign. Had Waze said "Speed limit drop to 60" I would have known.

It would be nice of you could get an audible alert at least one mile ahead of stalled traffic, so you can divert to alt. path

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.

Add custom recordable speed alerts. I really need help not speeding and a stern "Stop speeding fool!" would be awesome. Right now I have everything set and I get no audible notice at all when the parameter is hit (I.e. 5mph over), I really wish it would work at all right now. I have Android 7.0, HTC Bolt.

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.

Gostaria de sugerir um alerta
Seria interessante criar um alerta que quando nas proximidades do radar, se o condutor estiver acima do limite de velocidade dispara um alarme irritante, tipo o som de uma sirene até que o condutor diminua a velocidade. Criar isso como uma opção de alerta nas configurações. -

A lot of people have that problem. Waze didn't alert with sound all Radars... It's a big issue because you need to keep focus on screen and not the road. I know, if you are over speed limit waze will send to you a sound alert, but it's not enought. Waze didn't alert if you are on the speed limit.. Because that situation you can have a problems. Per example: if you suddenly change the speed.. Or the speed reported in side the software was wrong.. You be able to have a problems... and pay the penalty. Or if you didn't know about that radar you will look the screen and maybe will make a car accident. waze please take my suggestion really serious because you can save lives and improve your software

Please configurable sound alarm for radar if I go higher speed. And sound like car reversing sensors, as the closer, the shorter the interval.

Uma outra implementação interessante seria um alarme sonoro para radares, um bipe que fosse se intensificando a medida que se aproxima do radar e caso a velocidade esteja acima do permitido que seja um som específico (ex. sirene) para esse caso. É mais fácil ouvir o bipe que vai se intensificando com a proximidade do radar, do que prestar atenção no alarme visual que aparece hoje. (Esse recurso existe a muito tempo no IGO 8 e é muito útil.)

I honestly think that In many ways Waze is great. Really not trying to rhyme. One area I have to say Waze falls short is it's speed trap alerts. Getting two violations within 3 days of each other is totally unacceptable!! Waze should emulate Garmins speed trap alerts. To date I have not found one app that compares to Garmin when it comes to alerts. Yes, I'm sure I will get critized for posting this but lets compare. Garmin - provides varying intense audio and visual alerts up to, during and until the end of speed traps vs. Waze - speed trap reported ahead. Cmon, really wtf. Sorry, that's not cutting it for today's modern road warriors such as myself who depend on technology to guide of thorugh rigorous day to day travel experiences. Waze, you can and should do much better. Put on your big boy panties and show us what you got.

I was recently driving near a speed and red-light camera. I was driving just under the speed limit. The light went orange so I accelerated to clear it before red. I got a $300 fine for speeding. I believe that Waze - in its current state - would have never given me an audible warning in this situation. If I had been warned a few hundred metres before the camera that it was a red-light AND a speed camera - I would have slammed on the brakes. I have since started using a Tom Tom app that warns me loudly and clearly in advance - regardless of whether I am speeding or not - and now know when to hit the brakes. It would be nice to be able to use Waze only though - rather than relying on additional apps to supplement where Waze is lacking. Note that I have also recently tested several car GPS navigators and also over a dozen apps for speed cameras - and all have the ability to generate an audible warning regardless of whether I am speeding.

There should be a setting to sound alarm continuously until you pass a red light camera or a speed trap camera. Also an option to avoid all speed traps and red light cameras would be great. ... thanks

Me gustaría que donde hay radares de velocidad aparte que salga el aviso en la pantalla tengamos la oportunidad de escuchar un pitido una alarma especias de sonido ya que todo el tiempo uno no va mirando el teléfono. Gracias
