Types of safety cameras and safety-related features
The Safety Cameras service shows you warnings in the Driving View when there is a speed-camera or
safety-related feature on your driving route. You are warned that a safety camera is on your route 15
seconds before you reach it. You can select the safety-related features you want to be warned about
in Alerts.
When you receive a warning, an alert symbol appears in the top-left corner of the Driving View, and a
small symbol appears on your driving route. Where the speed limit is relevant it is shown in the alert
symbol. The distance to the feature is shown at the top of the alert symbol.
The alert symbol has a green background border when you are driving at or slower than the speed
limit, and a red background border when you are driving faster than the speed limit.
