Road Safety Camera types
There are different types of Road Safety Cameras.
Symbol | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Fixed | Some speed cameras stand by the roadside, looking in one direction, measuring traffic in one or both directions. They measure your current speed. For these speed cameras you can specify the controlled traffic direction and the speed limit. Navigation warns you when you approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. If your speed exceeds the speed limit near the speed camera, Navigation plays a special warning sound. |
 | Mobile | Some speed cameras are operated from vehicles. They are not constantly in operation and are not set to check a preset speed limit. The warning is similar to fixed speed cameras, but as there is no speed limit given, only the proximity is announced. |
 | Built-in | Some speed cameras are built into traffic lights. They work like fixed speed cameras, but they are difficult to spot. The warning for proximity and speeding is the same as for the fixed speed cameras. |
 | Section control | These speed cameras work in pairs, and do not measure your current speed but your average speed between the two speed cameras. Both identify your car and record the exact time you pass them. They use the difference between the two points in time to calculate your average speed. Navigation warns you when you approach these speed cameras in the measured direction. The warning continues as you pass the camera and your average speed up to the other of the two cameras is measured. If your average speed exceeds the speed limit between the two speed cameras, you receive the same special warning sound as with the other speed camera types. In the rare case Navigation cannot register the moment you pass the second speed camera (for example, it is placed at the exit of a tunnel where GPS positioning is not yet available) the warning continues. Touch the speed camera symbol displayed on the screen to stop the warning. |
 | Red light | These cameras check whether traffic lights are being obeyed. The warning is similar to mobile speed cameras. As there is no associated speed limit, only the proximity is announced. |
Road Safety Camera directions
A speed camera can measure the speed of one direction of the traffic, both directions, or even several directions at an intersection when mounted on a rotating base. Red light cameras measure traffic in the same direction. Navigation warns you only if you are driving in a measured or possibly measured direction. The measured direction of the camera appears with the following symbols.
Symbol | Description |
|---|---|
 | The camera checks speed in the direction in which you are driving. |
 | The camera checks speed in the opposite direction to that in which you are driving. |
 | The camera checks speed in both directions on the road. |
 | The camera can check speed in any direction. |
