Report a risk zone
Note: You can only report a risk zone if you have the Danger Zones Service.
Note: All temporary zones that are reported appear as Risk Zones when you are driving.
If you enter a temporary risk zone and do not receive a warning you can report it by tapping the
Risk Zone report button in the Driving View. Your report is sent to TomTom and, once validated,
shared with all TomTom Danger Zones subscribers. You can tap the Cancel button within 5 seconds
to cancel the reporting of a risk zone.
A reported temporary risk zone stays in the TomTom Danger Zones app for three hours.
If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone, the
new zone is added to the existing zone.
If enough subscribers report a new zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be available for
all subscribers.
