Danger zones in France
About danger zones
Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mo-
bile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French
law, all types of speed camera locations and safety-related features must be removed or be re-
ported as danger zones.
If you only have a map of France installed the Speed Cameras service is not available. You will not
get warnings about danger zones.
If you have a Europe or Western Europe and you have the Speed Cameras service, when driving
in France no warnings for danger zones will be given. In the Driving view, the Speed Cameras
report button will show the service-unavailable symbol. Your Speed Cameras service is not avail-
able and you will not get warnings about danger zones.

Types of speed cameras and safety-related features
The Speed Cameras service shows you warnings in the Driving View when there is a
speed-camera or safety-related feature on your driving route. You are warned that a speed camera
is on your route 15 seconds before you reach it. You can select the safety-related features you
want to be warned about in Alerts.
When you receive a warning, an alert symbol appears in the top left corner of the Driving View,
and a small symbol appears on your driving route. Where the speed limit is relevant it is shown in
the alert symbol. The distance to the feature is shown at the top of the alert symbol.
The alert symbol has a green background border when you are driving at or slower than the speed
limit, and a red background border when you are driving faster than the speed limit.
Speed Cameras warns of the following types of cameras and safety-related road features:
