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.

no todos los radares los notifican, podrían ser que laVoz se escuche un poco más a la hora de dar una indicación o reportar alguna notificación, en elRadar lo suyo es que te avise un par de kilómetros antes con un bep que a medida que te acercases al radar suene más seguido y si estás por encima del límite del radar te lo notifique con un beep y destello en la pantalla. -además de decir la velocidad permitida del radar.

Exceedingly dangerous curves (especially those where a lot of people have already died in accidents) could be entered into a database with data including the maximum safe speed at which they could be navigated by a normal vehicle. With a database of that sort, and the speed monitoring ability Waze already has, Waze could determine if you're approaching one of those curves too fast and an audible warning could tell you to slow down. Perhaps many lives could be saved with such a feature. Some police might not like it that Waze warns people about speed traps, but they should like this kind of warning system and they might help provide info for the database of dangerous curves because they're supposed to be primarily interested in public safety.

Bonjour,
Il me semble que cette option est déjà disponible dans les paramètres du compteur.

Bonjour. L'affichage du compteur est excellente. Et celui de l'alerte de vitesse maximum aussi. Mais serait-il possible d'afficher l'alerte en permanence, au lieu de seulement "à la limite" et "au-dessus de la limite"?
Peut-être une option à ajouter dans une prochaine mise à jour....
merci pour votre superbe application !!! -

Users should be able to control if speed and red light cameras cause an AUDIBLE alarm no matter what the car speed is.

seria recomendable que los avisos de peligro que hacen otros conductores te los leyera por voz, si ya lo hace en mi caso no los lee, por otro lado hay radares fijos que te sale el radar en la pantalla pero no los lee por voz ,ejemplo de castellon de la plana N340 a Sant Carles de la Rapita hay radares que unos los habla y otro no

@MrN0isy: Please stop trying to spread false information. You were already told twice that this was never the default behavior in Waze previously and therefor it was never changed to something else.
But thanks for voting this up. -

Absolutely, this was always the default behaviour and should not have been changed makes no sense!

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.

Announce all "speed traps" with sound and not, as currently some via sound some via visual alert on the phone

Totally agree! Waze notifies radar sometimes, mainly when we are driving in highways, but it doesn't notify when we are driving downtown. I would like to be able to configure alerts. At least give us the most important, police and radar alert sound.

i think its better if the sound is played whatever direction your going, in the UK they have cameras that can point either way, better to be safe that sorry !

O aviso sonoro para radares é essencial principalmente a noite visto que não podemos dirigir olhando constantemente para o aplicativo.Esta função não é proibida visto que para os gps tradicionais são permitidos. Ajudaria muito.

Speed camera alerts should always alert me when i am approaching not just when i am speeding, because what if i am at or below speed limit but decide to speed up when i am unknowingly close to a speed camera

Minha sugestão seria ter alerta sonoro ao ultrapassarmos a velocidade da pista, ou um alerta visual mais visível. Obrigado!

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.

Is it possible to build in a sound signal when approaching a speed camera or when you drive too hard, instead of an optical signal?

As the laser radar can fine the two kilometers from where the equipment is, the waze should alert users through notices / audio notifications, with at least two kilometers in advance. Otherwise, the alert being near the radar, will not help. For Brazilian User.

Sometimes it fails to alert by sound. Also it's too silent. Will be nice to custom your own sound and loudness.
