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.

The alerts in Waze are way too discrete!! If I don't hear the alerts , I prefer to keep Coyote...

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.

Sugero que o alerta do radar seja com voz independente da velocidade

pouvoir attribuer un bruit de son choix aux alertes serait un plus.
La fenêtre des radars serait mieux si elle clignotait en rouge. Elle serait plus visible. -

Pergunto por que, mesmo o radar semafórico aparecendona tela, às vezes ele não é alertado por voz ?

Incluir um alerta sonoro para quando fosse ultrapassado o limite da via ....

RADAR DETECTORS ARE ILLEGAL AND A WASTE OF MONEY.. BY THE TIME YOUR RADAR DETECTOR LETS YOU KNOW YOU'RE BEING WATCHED, WE ALREADY HAVE YOUR SPEED LOCKED IN

That may be considered a form of radar detector in some states that may be illegal

+1 also for me it seems very important to have a sound before radar instead looking on the phone

Cars on the shoulder of the road don't warrant an audible alarm in my opinion, but others might want to hear them. Having a toggle for each type of hazard enabling or disabling audio alerts would allow us to customize the app as we like.

If you ever really do that please give it a turn off option, I find this option on GPS's extremely irritating.

+1 for that feature, even though I'm not stepping on it when approaching the radar doesn't meander I don't want to know it's there. Make it a configurable option and you can choose for yourself if you want it or not.

I would like to be able to configure alerts... i.e.change audible alert notification (beep, tone, etc.), and set which specific hazard types generate audible alerts

Like other road items, let us choose to turn off red light cameras. On stretches of road with many that are traveled frequently, they become spam popups. Too much.

When we are coming to Speed Alerts, the App shows a Note, that's ok!
But... The note would show the default speed ;) -

I would like to have an audio camera alert whenever near a fixed camera site not just when approaching at excessive speed. It's too much of a distraction to have to look at the screen so often.
