Danger Zones Danger zones in France About danger zones 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, all types of speed camera locations and safety-related features are now reported as danger zones. In France, the TomTom Speed Cameras service is known as TomTom Danger Zones. Danger zones may contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:  Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the zone.  The length of the zone depends on the road type at the current location and can be 300m, 2000m or 4000m.  The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.  If several cameras are close to each other, the warnings can be merged in a single longer zone. Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive warnings about danger zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive changes. Danger zone warnings Warnings are given 15 seconds before you reach a danger zone. You are warned in three ways:  Your device plays a warning sound.  Your distance from the danger zone is shown in the Driving View. If a speed restriction is known for the zone, the speed is also shown in the Driving View. While you are driving in a danger zone, the warning remains on the Driving View.  The location of the danger zone is shown on the map. Changing the way you are warned To change the way your TomTom warns you about danger zones, tap Alert settings. You can then set the warning sound played. 3
