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.

This is crucial to my commute. Smart Motorway speed limits can change depending on traffic conditions, I need an audible ping when there is a speed camera regardless of current speed.

This is critical for me; I do my best to never speed. But sometimes speed creeps up on you and you don't even realise. I have Waze set to beep as soon as I hit the speed limit but fear that the speed may creep over just before a camera. I would like a warning regardless of the speed Im travelling.
We also have speed camera in locations with variable speed limits depending on the time of day so you can easily be caught out with no audible cues at all.

과속 단속 구간이 있을 때, 만약에 운전자가 속도 초과라면, 전방 1km부터 단속 구간을 지나갈 때까지 경고음이 울렸으면 좋겠다.

using voice alert for speed change (warn the driver of the current speed limit by saying i.e. 30 miles).

It might already show this information but the speed limit indicator is much to small to read at a glance. It should be the same size as the driving speed indicator.

Deberia ser configurable, asi se ajusta a las necesidades de todos. De la misma forma que el limite de velocidad es configurable, las barreras de tren, etc. Por favor den respuesta a este tema que es muy util, es mas util que otras cosas que ya estan incorporadas.

I was fined for speeding. Waze didn't alert me because I was going under the limit but speeded up at that last second. If there had been an audible alert, I would have known the camera was there. My level is "Royalty Wazer" as I've been using Waze for 10 years (got 360k points, so I have always been an active user) and I'm going to have to use a competitor until this is fixed.

In the UK we have variable road speeds which means that if you are on the motorway and the speed has been varied to say 50 or 60 mph, waze will not give an audio sound/warning to alert you that there is a speed camera approaching as the normal road speed would be 70 mph. Please can it be possible for speed cameras to always give an audio alert regardless of the speed you are travelling

COINCIDO! Y Alerta por 2 vías: SONORA y VISUAL.
PUBLIQUE ESTA SUGERENCIA HACER VARIOS MESES:
Aviso SONORO y VISUAL 500 mts antes del radar (INDEPENDIENTEMENTE de la velocidad a la que esté circulando)Estimados. Ante todo soy un fanático del Waze. Lo uso desde que me subo al auto, haga 100 km o 15 cuadras, a veces para llegar a destino, pero SIEMPRE para detectar con la intención de anticiparme a los radares de velocidad y la foto multas
Paso a describir lo que pienso y mi pedido, si fuese posible:
En mi caso llevo el celular en el centro del tablero (a la derecha del volante) pegado a un imán.
Creo que WAZE es muy bueno en muchísimas cosas, y tiene tantas configuraciones para que cada usuario setee a su gusto, que me llama mucho la atención que no esté aún la opción/función que propongo a continuación
Me refiero a la alarma SONORA y a al DESTELLO para detección VISUAL
La alarma sonora funciona (o avisa) 500 mts antes del radar, pero SOLO si en esos 500 mts antes estoy yendo a una velocidad superior a la permitida por el radar que se encuentra 500 mts más adelante. Vivo en Buenos Aires, Argentina, está lleno de radares por todos lados (y muchos de ellos bastante ridículos en su pretensión de velocidad máxima. Es decir, que sin ser un loco al volante, es muy fácil superar esa velocidad máxima (p ej 60 km/h).)
Entonces, básicamente, mis propuestas son 2 para esta misma temática
1- Que el aviso o alarma sonora SUENE esos 500 mts antes, vaya uno por arriba O POR DEBAJO de la velocidad máxima permitida. Que avise SIEMPRE. O por lo menos me den la opción de elegir esa función cuando uno setea las configuraciones del WAZE
2- Y la alarma visual. Que en esos 500 mts salte un cartel MAS VISUAL (recuerdo que tengo el cel a la derecha del volante, al igual que muchos, entonces uno no conduce mirando en la misma línea donde esta el celular. Y el cartel actual que muestra (porque sí muestra un cartel) es MUY PEQUEÑO y sin llamar mucho la atención. Me encantaría que titile en rojo todo el celular p ej, que no haya forma de no poder verlo.Me pasó muchísimas veces de ver el cartel CAMARA DE VELOCIDAD una vez que lo pasé, siendo ya tarde y acumulando algunas multas en mi haber. Aunque a su vez debo haberme ahorrado una buena cantidad de pesos gracias al WAZE. Asi que es solo eso, una propuesta de mejora o que le den a los usuarios esa posibilidad de configuración. Muchas gracias.

Tbh I don't want the beeps but I would like for the app to tell me about speed cameras even when I am not over the limit, because I might soon well be!

If i'm not wrong this is implemented but it depends on how the local community asked the Staff to configure the alerts for that specific country.

Sugestão: Notificar por voz quando houver aproximação de radar de velocidade em qualquer velocidade no momento.
Quando estamos em velocidade abaixo do permitido, somente mostra na rela o radar, mas notifica por voz, porém nessa distância até o radar existe a possibilidade de aumentar a velocidade e não ser percebida pela usuário o radar próximo. -

audible alert in the vicinity of speed camera.
I know waze does visual alert but what is the point of it without audible alert? hope waze is not expecting user to take their eyes off the road and keep staring at the screen for the visual clues, is it? -
Mohammed Ali commented
If you don't get notified and then your exceeding the speed limit by the time your close to the camera it doesn't then notified you - it doesn't say anything. If you could have the option to have it just be always enabled like in google maps, that would be brilliant.

Fixed speed cameras are only shown on the screen and the driver doesn't get an alert. This forces the drivers to look at the phone screen regularly by taking the eyes off the road. So, please activate voice warnings for fixed speed cameras too.

Eugenio Thomas commented
The alert for speed cameras (but also for traffic light cameras) should always be acoustic as well, and not only if the speed limit is exceeded.
-
Chris H commented
As others have written please add option to have audible alert for all speed cameras no matter of current speed (so not only in case of over limit but also when under the limit).

Speed Camera Alert should have voiced alert all the time regardless of current speed
It is of important of users to have alert regardless of the current speed as current speed meter might not be accurate all the time and visual of the map might not be possible all the time. It’s of important to have it as an option for users to know there is a speed camera upcoming no matter the current speed is
Please consider the suggestion of adding as an option. Hugely appreciate that.
