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.

Gostaria de sugerir o Waze ter uma opção de alertar radares mesmo você estando numa velocidade abaixo do radar.
Em algumas situações em que você está em um transito (atrás de um caminhão por exemplo), e ao ultrapassar este caminhão, você se depara com um radar bem a frente, que não havia sido alertado. -

Make it clearer when you are over the speed limit.
My main use case is using Waze to check if I am over the speed limit. I know the route to work well, so don’t need the mapping as much as the speed, but it is very subtle if you are going too fast - a red border to the box. Can there be an option to have the bar at the bottom go red (instead of grey) if you are over the speed limit as that would help alert the driver. Note that audio alerts are not good for this as I don’t want the voice going directions as I know the route - I’d like to only be alerted when over the speed limit. This would be an option that users could opt in to.

Sería muy útil y atraería a muchos compañeros que waze avisara siempre con aviso sonoro de los radares fueras a la velocidad que fuera por que los camiones y furgones aquí en España tienen restricciones específicas de velocidad y así estaríamos siempre avisados aunque no podamos ver la pantalla

especially since we can no longer resize the map and have it stay at the desired size/distance. When it goes to highway it shows 3 or 4 miles down the road and very hard to discern what alerts are what. Change the map back to where it will hold whatever size we set it to.

El aviso de radares y camaras que lo diga siempre por voz no solo cuando superas la velocidad.

When driving and I speed or not noticing the app. It would be good if the audio alert is persistent so I know if I am continuously speeding and I would slow down and stay on the speed limit. In a given to edit it on the options if I want this feature turn off or leave it on.

Would also be good if there was an option of a recurring notification sound.

I would like to have an option to a non-voice option for all alerts -- different sounds for different events.

Por que até hoje não há apresentação ou visualização da velocidade do radar ao alertar???
Ao alertar por velocidade acima do radar, o alerta poderia cobrir a tela, ou metade dela, com a velocidade limite piscando em vermelho, e não discretamente no canto da tela...

I want warnings for all speed limit changes, increases and decreases. Speed limits are usually poorly marked, on purpose so they can write more speeding tickets.

After speed limit alarm if a optional beep sounds over max speed, it will be better.

It would be nice to be able to toggle individual alerts on and off. We get constant "vehicle on shoulder" alerts that interrupt what is playing on the radio. Either make the alert shorter, or please allow me to disable that alert.

There are close to 100 votes for this but they are spread over a number of similar requests (below)
It would be great if it had an option to always notify (with sound) when approaching a radar and not only when at excessive speed.

votesAlways warn for speed traps, even when not speeding
Currently, Waze only warns for police speed traps when I am driving above the current speed limit.The problem with this is that the speed limit Waze think applies can be wrong. For example, in the Netherlands, the hard shoulder is opened during rush hours to allow for more traffic ("spitsstroken"). However, the maximum speed is then reduced.
Also, a number of roads have variable speed limits, where you have different limits applying depending on whether it is day or night.If a speed trap is active, Waze will not warn me because it thinks I am driving under the… more

votesI think that saying you are approaching speed cameras should be done automatically instead of only being said if approaching at a high speed. Waze says always when approaching red light cameras. The same should be done on speed cameras. I often notice also that when approaching at higher speeds that im not informed of cameras till I am already at the speed camera.

votesaudio warning of proximity to a hazard or item like a fixed camera location
when hazards are close, or you approach an intersection with a camera, there are no Audio warnings. even stock audio messages grouped by hazard or warning type would suffice1

In the sound settings, add an "Alert tones" option so we don't miss the most important alerts while our eyes are on the road and still hear our podcasts with minimum interruption.

Los avisos de policía sólo sirve para ayudar a los delincuentes. Si no quieres que te multen, cumple las normas de circulación.
¿Te gustaría que un conductor borracho, que lleva en el maletero a tu hija, se estrellase contra tí después de haber evitado un control policial?
¡¡¡NO A LOS AVISOS DE POLICIA!!!
Los que dan estos avisos son cómplices de los delincuentes y deberían ser acusados y juzgados como tal. -

Voice alerts for speed cameras. Tiny black symbol for camera is useless. I would pay for the app if this was added
