Danger Zones About danger zones and risk zones The Danger Zones service warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are in France. Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger zones and risk zones.
Danger zone and risk zone warnings Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone or risk zone. You are warned in several ways: A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map. Your distance to the start of the zone is shown in the route bar. You hear a warning sound as you get near the start of the zone. While you are approaching a zone or driving in a zone, your speed is monitored. If you drive more than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red.
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 in to your MyTomTom account. If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone, then the new zone is added to the existing zone. If enough Danger Zones users report a new risk zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be available for all subscribers.
