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.

Could you tell me where to turn this on or where to activate this function? Also what version was it available from as I can seem to find it

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.

Could u please vocally warn for radars regardless if we above the speed limit or not?
2 reasons:
1 - In the UK there's variable speed limit on motorways. Normal speed is 70mph but if they set 60 or 50 there's no voice warning stating there's a radar 0.3 miles away as we below the normal speed. If the voice warns for radars regardless of speed, would be helpful in those situations
2 - on a 20 or 30mph road, 0.3 miles away from a radar we might be below the speed limit but if we distracted, with such low speed limits we easily pass the tolerance in a short distance.
Thank u Waze for keeping my drivers license clean -

Qué haya una opción para que avise siempre de los radares, vayas o no por debajo del límite.

It would be great to hear the warning for speed cameras permanently as a sound. It's about the problem when the speed camera is not announced to me and I speed up just before the spot and then get flashed after all. Since I don't always look at my mobile phone while driving, the entry on the map doesn't always help me.

Speed and Red light cameras are illegal here in California, so this debate is moot!

Agree with this. There should at least be an *option* you can toggle on to have all speed cameras always trigger an audio alert, even if you are under the speed limit - even if this option is off by default.

Por favor, que exista la posibilidad de recibir alertas de radares independientemente de la velocidad que estés conduciendo.
Me han llegado ya algunas multas por radares porque justo a 200m del radar acelero y supero el máximo permitido, y claro como a 500m no iba superando el límite pues la alerta no me salta. Por favor, dad la opción a que te avisen siempre, vayas a la velocidad que vayas.

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
