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.

Perchè non accompagnate anche con un messaggio vocale la presenza di AUTOVELOX e non solo con un messaggio grafico?

I would like to have an option to select for Speed Camera Voice Alerts to sound even when under the speed limit. In the UK we have smart motorways which often reduce speed limits and so the speed cameras then monitor speed at the temporary limit and so if the temporary speed limit is 40, 50 or 60 the voice alert doesn't sound as I would be travelling under 70 mph (the normal speed limit!)

For safety and legality, many drivers, especially professional drivers, will not want to exceed the speed limit. Currently, Waze jess a very poor beep noise alert when this happens.
That is not good enough. Waze has verbal alerts for roadworks and police cars and other events. I would like a similar verbal alert for speed limits. Of course one can always look for road signs etc, but these can be missed, so a verbal warning would be a great addition to the Waze App.
Thank you. -

Entendo que, só avisar sobre um radar com voz e som se o veículo estiver na média acim X velocidade da pista é a forma como o carpool funciona, mas eu não concordo. O importante para qualquer motorista é ser alertado para radar em qualquer situação. Trafegar na velocidade média numa rodovia por exemplo, não impede que exatamente naquele ponto em que o radar mal sinalizado se aproxima, o motorista não perceba ( pode estar ouvindo o rádio e se distraiu) que está atingindo o limite de velocidade e um aviso de voz e sonoro pode fazer toda a diferença. Em muitas rodovias, ainda existem radares atrás de moitas e árvores sem qualquer sinalização. Um aviso sonoro e de voz é muito útil em qualquer situação. Os motoristas profissionais que eu conheço não usam muito o waze na estrada, justamente pelo fato de que, em velocidade média baixa, o app fica mudo. O motorista liga o rádio e numa distração quando vê, exatamente naquele ponto do radar ele Estava um pouco acima da velocidade e foi pego. Acredito que uma aviso sonoro e de voz para radar em qualquer situação de condução, tornará o Waze muito mais útil do que ele já é. Obrigado pela atenção.

I believe there should be an option for continuous beeping when you drive over the speed limit. The way it is now, with only one beep when you go over the speed limit, it's very easy to go unnoticed considering the ambient noise. Furthermore, you won't know when you are in the safe speed range again when reduce your speed a bit.
Waze, please add continuous beeping option for driving over the speed limit, adding this feature to the app should be very easy for your developers.Thank you

it would be very useful to always have at any speed, even below the limits, the acoustic vocal warning for the presence of both fixed and mobile speed cameras or in the presence of cameras

MUY importante. Al acercarnos a un Radar, actualmente solo avisa en forma sonora si 500 mts antes estamos excedidos de esa velocidad. Si estuviéramos por debajo del limite, y dentro de esos 500 mts aceleramos, NO TE AVISA con sonido. Ademas presenta un cartel que no despierta la atención del conductor. SUGERENCIA: que SIEMPRE avise visualmente, pero en serio, 100% de la superficie del celular, titilando en rojo, y ademas ALARMA POR SONIDO, vaya uno excediendo o no la velocidad. ¡Por lo menos den al opción de setear ambas cosas a cada usuario! WAZE esta repleto de opciones de configuración, pero no tienen ésta, que considero ESCENCIAL! Las multas en mi país, al igual que en muchos otros son MUY CARAS. Y está bien que haya que respetar una velocidad prudente. El Problema que en mi país (Argentina) los límites de velocidad en muchos lugares son realmente absurdos y mal intencionados. Muchas gracias!

inideed - i currently use a garmin with custom notification sounds that incorporate a dtmf tone that is used to inform another system of the current speed zone for the red light / camera zones -
if waze could be customised to use user provided audio files- this would allow me to look at using waze for the same purpose.

Make available option to turn on speed camera audio notifications always, no matter if you exceeding speed limit or not

alguns radares, apesar de sinalizados, deixam de ser verbalizados, seria de suma importância a verbalização de todos radares.

En Argentina no tenemos camaras que detectan velocidades variables segun el uso, pero de todas maneras no hay persona q conozca q no quiera la opcion de alerta sonora en presencia de radar de velocidad aunque no se este excediendo el limite.
Sobre todo en rutas dnd hay q realizar sobrepasos. -

Por favor, agregar una opción de que avise los radares de velocidad "siempre" sin importar la velocidad a la que se circule. Hoy los autos aceleran 20 o 30 km en pocos metros y si se está cerca de la cámara el programa no avisa

When driving within a variable speed limit zone, the limit may be set lower than usual; so you could be driving at 60 when the limit is reduced to 40. Because the usual limit on the road is 70 you wouldn’t be alerted to the upcoming camera. So it would be useful to be made aware of it in case the limit has been reduced

The system has road speed limit data and live GPS vehicle speed. So it can tell when you go over the limit. Currently, when that happens there is a quite subtle notification sound. I believe there should be options to have much clearer and more urgent audio warning.
I would like two options : One, I would like the option to have the limit voiced every time it changes. Very simply, go from a 40mph road into a 30mph road and I'd like to hear "Thirty". And so on for each and every change.
Secondly, I would like the option to hear a proper warning such as "Speed speed speed" if I exceed the limit. By that I mean 1 mph over, not at the limit, although there could be options for that, too. (the current options are a bit limited).
I would also like the option for the speed warning to be continuous, not just one 'ping' as at present.
Thanks, and I hope Waze Devs get on this ASAP! -

Português (Brasil) Façam o Waze informar verbalmente sobre TODOS os radares, independentemente da velocidade do veículo.

Traffic cams, Police, and Road Hazards all have the option both show on maps and have audible alerts. Heavy traffic only has the option to view on the map, but no option for an alert. By the time the heavy traffic shows on the map, you're already stuck in it. It would be nice to know when to take an alternate route.

Add sound notification when exceeding the speed limit or approaching a speed camera. Every other GPS navigation has this elementary feature.
