Police trap warnings are only going to appear if they were posted for the direction you are driving. There is no option for "both lanes" yet. Also, in the US/Canada, it does not work if you are traveling on a split roadway and you try to post a hazard/police for the other lane. Waze attaches it to the current road you are on but going the other direction, which is impossible to drive on, so no one will ever get that alert.

Red light cams and speed cams also much be set up correctly in Waze (pointing the right direction and attached to a street) in order to properly alert. You may check in the map editor to see if they are properly placed and direction is correct: Travel direction is from the camera to the red dot.

I know that the world server has issues with proper alerts with speed cams, so if you are outside the US/Canada, there are known issues with verbal alerts.

Red light cameras, if they are actually set up in the editor correctly, will always give a warning when you enter the radius of about 500ft. In practice the warning comes about 450ft. in the US. If you aren't getting a verbal/popup, then something is not set up correctly.

Share a permalink and let a CM (from a state with such cameras) take a look at it.

I've noticed the same concerning a local red light camera. The verbal warnings are inconsistent. Sometimes I get the warning, many times I do not. Thankfully, I know it's there (in fact, I may had marked it originally in Waze as a red camera stop, I don't recall now).

At the same intersection, if I am coming from another direction, I always get the warning (i.e. traveling east or west) but it is very inconsistent when I am northbound on the intersection.

I checked it on the map and it seems to be in order as far as I can tell… So I am puzzled why it used to give the warning, and now it doesn't. It's not a big problem for me as the light is within walking distance from my home. I know it well. I know it's there. For others that don't know about it won't get the warning though and thus will be unaware of it. As said though, it used give the warning and now doesn't.

I receive no verbal warnings for police, traffice or anything. Does this version 3.5 not give verbal warnings or do I not have something setup correctly?
