Reporting a risk zone

If you pass a new temporary risk zone that you were not warned about, you can report it instantly.
Note: To report a risk zone, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged into your
TomTom account.
If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone, the
new zone is added to the existing zone. The risk zone is saved on your device automatically and also
sent to other users. A reported risk zone stays on your device for three hours.
If enough Danger Zones users report a new risk zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be
available for all subscribers.
You can report a risk zone in the following ways:
