I was chatting to a friend tonight who supplied me with french speed detector changes.
Since Jan 2012 speed camera detection devices are illegal in France.
French law now allows Danger Zone warning devices but not speed camera detecting devices.
It appears that Danger Zones warnings will be allowed to be the following distances before the danger area on the relevant roads. French law dictates the distances.
4km on motorways
2km on major roads
350m in urban areas
These zones may or may not include a speed camera but could include danger points such as railway crossings and accident black-spots.
Many sat nav updates now have a French danger zone option.
It may not cover all speed cameras but could be worth looking into.
I am going to see what Garmin updates include this week.
