About Danger Zones

TomTom Danger Zones warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are in France. Danger zones and risk zones are only shown if you have a map of France, or your map includes France and 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.

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.

Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:

• Specific speed camera 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 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.
• 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 TomTom App so that you always have the latest information. You can also contribute by reporting new risk zone locations.

Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.
