About danger zones  
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.  
A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by 
users. TomTom Danger Zones warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.  
Note: For up -to -date information about danger zones and risk zones, subscribe to the Danger 
Zones Service. This service also lets you report risk zones. 
Note : You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.  
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 as you approach the zone.  
   The minimum length of the zone depends on the road typ e 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.  
You see warnings about danger zones even when no route is planned.

Danger zone warning  
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. The alert symbol is displayed as you travel through 
the zone.  
 
Only one alert symbol is used to warn about danger zones:  
Alert symbol  
 Route symbol  Description  
  
 The length of a danger zone may be 300 m, 2000 
m or 4000 m depending on the type of road. If 
several cameras are close to each other, the 
warning can be merged in a single longer zone.
 
Note: When you have the Danger Zones service, the lower part of the alert symbol is blue and the 
symbol shown on your route is red. Without the Danger Zones service, the lower part of the alert 
symbol is grey and the symbol shown on your route is black.  
The warning sound you hear depends on whether you are currently exceeding the speed limit or not.   
Frequency of danger zones updates 
When you have a subscription to TomTom Speed Cameras service , or TomTom Danger Zones service, 
danger zone i nformation is constantly being updated unless the connection to the TomTom server is 
lost.   
If you are not receiving updates from TomTom, the lower part of the alert symbol is grey and the 
symbol shown on your route is black. You may not be receiving updat es due to one or more of the 
following reasons:  
   Your  subscription
 has expired.  
  Data services is switched off in  Advanced settings.

Report a risk zone  
Note: You can only report a risk zone if you have t he 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 th e 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,  
then 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.
