Safety camera warning sounds are played for the most common types of safety camera. To change
the way you are warned about safety cameras, select Sounds & Warnings in the Settings menu.
Warnings are given as you approach a safety camera. You are warned in several ways:

 Your distance to the safety camera is shown in the route bar.
 You hear a warning sound as you get near the camera.
 While you are approaching a camera or driving in an average speed 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.
If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.
