Red Light Camera alerts, let us disable PLEASE.

Post by chanrobi
Hi guys,

I think this has been mentioned before but I think it should be mentioned again, please - let us disable red light camera audio notifications WITHOUT disabling ALL sound alerts.

I think a lot of us don't really care for these alerts (we don't run reds anyways!), and not only do these interrupt music/podcasts that are playing, it does it at MAX volume.

And if you are commuting like me, you may receive these alerts multiple times enroute...

I'm sorry, but the post above me is mistaken. It is possible to disable speed camera alerts, but there is no option in that menu for red light camera alerts. You can either put up with the red light camera alerts, or disable all Waze sounds including turn instructions.

This certainly has been mentioned before, and staff have said that they are working on it. In my opinion it's a simple fix that should already have happened.

Speed Camera alerts. I do NOT get audio notifications. I just got my 2nd ticket. The only way I know is if I am holding the app and looking at the map. All notifications are turned ON on my cell phone. On the Waze app, I have all notification alerts turned ON. There must be a technical glitch. Please help!!!

You can disable just the red light/speed camera alerts without disabling ALL alerts.

Go to your settings, Alerts & Reports, Reports. You will find a long list of alerts you can change.

Thanks for clarifying. We don't have any speed camera's in TX and the red light camera's have just been outlawed. I saw the option in the app for the speed camera and didn't think that they would be separate alerts in the app.
