How to use Waze to avoid speed cameras
One of the best options when travel is to have a copilot capable of notifying any problem that may arise on the road in advance. Something that Waze has been doing for a couple of years, alerting in real time not only of possible accidents, retentions or works on the road, but also of the fearsome traffic radars Both the real fixed lines, such as fake cameras or possible mobile police stations.And that is the good thing about having an application in which the users themselves participate for the common good, having all this information available during the journey. But how does the Waze speed camera warning device really work?
The key feature of Waze is its constant updating, something that allows not only to have real maps drawn with the most recent changes on the roads, but to have the alerts that happen constantly on the road. The negative point is that to enjoy all this you must have a constant Internet connectionIn this way, the user receives in real time the alerts approved by the community such as the discovery of a mobile radaror any other incidence of interest.
In addition, it must be understood that Waze alerts must pass a filter to avoid errors and confusion, requiring other users to and map managers also confirm that there is a police control or radar at a specific point before that it is displayed for all users.A requirement that may delay the publication of one of these alerts, but is necessary for proper operation of the application.
With these premises, all that remains is to select the menu in the lower left corner and press the option Navigate to establish the path to travel. This will show on the screen the route by which it will circulate to the destination, showing an icon of a camera in the position where the existence of a radar is known, a fake camera or a traffic light camera Therefore, it is a good option to review said map and route before starting the march to find out where they are located. All this taking into account that you have to enlarge the view of the route to see all the details and icons, especially in cities where a view that is too aerial can overlap radars and cameras
Even so, Waze is prepared to alert the user of the location and proximity to them However, it is only notified by a sound or voice alarm when the user is driving on above of the permitted speed, thus avoiding being caught and having to pay the fine and the possible loss of points from the license. An option that, unfortunately, cannot be modified to be alert always at a safe distance to reduce speed and always know when there is a radar or security camera soon traffic.
In this way, and for the moment, it is recommended that the user of Waze check their route before starting the road and that, as far as possible, stick to the maximum speed allowed, knowing that if it exceeds it excessively, it will be alerted to avoid radars and traffic cameras, even if they are recently installed.Another alternative is to redefine the application's viewing settings, making it only speed cameras are shown on the screen Something that does not modify the operation of Waze but can alert visually the user to only worry about this type of alerts
