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 the navigation app so that you always have the latest information. You can also
contribute by reporting new risk zone locations.
The TomTom PRO 82xx uses either a permanent connection or a smartphone connection to
Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for
extra roaming charges while using TomTom Services.
Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.
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:
A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map.
Your distance to the start of the zone is shown in the route bar.
You hear a warning sound as you get near the start of the zone.
While you are approaching a zone or driving in a 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.
