    I just got caught by a mobile speed camera, the Waze warning popped up as I came over the brow of a hill and I saw the police van in the far distance, probably about a mile. Unfortunately they saw me as well!
    Speed based notifications would not help in this situation as they detect you as soon as you heave into sight.
    The warning distance needs to be much more than the latest speed camera detection distance.

    Modern mobile speed cameras have a detection distance of over 1km (0.6 miles) so the notification needs to be at least 1 mile or maybe more before the reported location. The notification distance should be separate to fixed cameras that have a shorter detection distance.
