About danger zones
The Danger Zones service warns you about danger 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.
Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you
receive warnings about danger zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive
changes.
A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. The Danger Zones service warns you about danger
zones.
Danger 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.
Note: You cannot remove a danger zone.
Note: Your new TomTom GO Basic comes pre-loaded with zone locations. To keep these zones
up-to-date, connect your TomTom GO to TomTom MyDrive frequently.
Crossing into another area or country
When you drive into an area or country that does not permit speed camera warnings, your TomTom
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 TomTom GO automatically switches to give limited
warnings when you cross into those areas or countries.
Danger zone warnings
Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger 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.
 The speed limit in the zone is shown in the route bar.
 You hear a warning sound as you get near the start of the zone.
