Waze not warning you about speed cameras? This is the setting to fix it

When driving, knowing where speed cameras are located can make a big difference in how relaxed and alert we feel behind the wheel. Apps like Waze have become essential for this, helping us stay aware of nearby cameras without breaking any traffic laws. But lately, some users have noticed that Waze has stopped sending alerts. Luckily, this is something that can be easily fixed in the settings.

How to reactivate speed camera alerts in Waze

If Waze isn’t notifying you about speed cameras, the problem might be a simple misconfiguration in the app’s settings. Start by opening Waze and heading into the Settings menu, then tap on “Alerts & reports”. From there, go to the section called “Reports” and select “Speed cameras.”

Once inside, you’ll see various options. The most important alerts to enable include “Speed camera,” “Red light camera,” and “Mobile speed camera”. By turning these on, you’ll start receiving timely alerts whenever Waze detects one of these devices on your route.

Waze depends on user reports and frequent updates, so it’s important to keep the app updated and make sure that you’ve accepted any new terms of service that might have reset your preferences. If everything is correctly set up and you’re still not receiving alerts, the issue could be a temporary glitch, which Waze usually fixes quickly thanks to its active community.
