Crossing into another area or country 
When you drive into an area or country that does not permit speed camera warnings, your GO 
switches the speed cameras service off. You will not receive speed cameras warnings in those areas 
or countries. 
Some areas or countries permit limited speed camera warnings, for example only warnings for fixed 
cameras, or warnings for risk zones. Your GO automatically switches to give limited warnings when 
you cross into those areas or countries.  
Speed camera warnings 
Speed camera warning sounds are played for the most common types of speed camera. 
Warnings are given as you approach a speed camera. You are warned in several ways: 
 A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map. 
 Your distance to the speed 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 check area, 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. 
Tip: In the map view or guidance view, you can select a speed camera symbol in the route bar to 
see the type of camera, the maximum speed and also the length of an average speed check area.

About danger zones and risk zones 
The Danger Zones service warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are 
in France. 
Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile 
speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, 
speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger 
zones and risk zones. 
Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you 
receive warnings about danger zones and risk zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning 
you receive changes. 
A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by 
users. The Danger Zones service warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way. 
Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other 
driving hazards: 
 Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the 
zone. 
 The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300 m for roads in built-up 
areas, 2000 m (2 km) for secondary roads and 4000 m (4 km) for motorways. 
 The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone. 
 If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer 
zone. 
Information about the location of zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and 
frequently sent to your GO so that you always have the latest information. You can also contribute 
by reporting new risk zone locations. 
To get TomTom services on your GO, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged in to a 
TomTom account. 
Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone. 
Note: TomTom services are not available on all GO devices. 
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location. 
 
Crossing into another area or country 
When you drive into an area or country that does not permit speed camera warnings, your GO 
switches the speed cameras service off. You will not receive speed cameras warnings in those areas 
or countries. 
Some areas or countries permit limited speed camera warnings, for example only warnings for fixed 
cameras, or warnings for risk zones. Your GO automatically switches to give limited warnings when 
you cross into those areas or countries.  
Danger zone and risk zone warnings 
Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone or risk zone. You are warned in 
several ways:
