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 essential. This used to be a thing before they changed it.

Waze should implement and include voice radar speed limit alert (example: “Radar…80 km/h top speed limit).

Sometimes we need the option for Speed Camera alert to sound regardless of the vehicle speed (up or down the permitted speed).
Now you can only select 5% overspeed. -

I think it would be a great option to be able to choose that the speed cameras always alert, not only when driving over the maximum limit.
It would be as simple as adding an option to "alert always" or "alert only when driving over the speed limit".
Many of us prefer that the application always alerts, because if the warning point is reached at a legal speed, but it accelerates before reaching the radar, you will get a fine.
I hope you think it's a good idea and add it.
Thank you so much! 😊

This is not available on Android...where is this setting?

It is completely inapprpriate and unsafe to be continually looking at a phone. All speed cameras, fixed or mobile, should have a voice alert. It happens often - speed up just before and get flashed. Speeding ticket tolerances are so low now that voice alerts are essential. Otherwise it appears Waze is influenced by governments.

Hi Ella
Where is this released? I was checking all the version history in IOS and there is nothing that says this feature was added. Could you please clarify?

Better still, these stretches of motorway should have their speed limit removed from the map database. If the speed limit on any road is variable then the app should show a blank speed limit sign and should always alert speed cameras.

For me it unfortunately does not work neither.

In the UK, when in a variable speed limit, the speed camera audio notification only sounds when above the maximum speed limit eg 70mph on a motorway.
There should always be a notification when in a variable zone as you could be doing 70mph in a 30mph zone with no alert.
Easy solution is to have an option to "Always Alert for Speed Camera" for any speed which also ties in with others' suggestions (eg speeding up once inside the alert threshold doesn't generate an audio warning - it should) -

Give all users some options regarding this issue.

Absolutely needed feature, the speak camera audio alert should always play, as otherwise you are distracted looking at the screen.
