Coyote, a company offering driver assistance tools, has rolled out a new feature in its app and devices that alerts drivers when they enter areas monitored by video enforcement cameras. These zones, used to detect traffic violations, are already mapped in more than 530 locations across France. The alert appears as a visual notification on the Coyote app or the Coyote Max device for five seconds before switching to a small icon at the top of the screen. This icon stays visible for as long as the vehicle remains in the zone and disappears once the driver leaves. The system is entirely visual, with no sound or audio alerts. Coyote claims that the capital city, Paris, is nearly fully covered by such video enforcement, and the use of this technology is growing in cities like Rouen and Villeneuve-d'Ascq, which are investing heavily in this method of monitoring traffic. The new alert is available for users of the Coyote app on iOS and Android devices. A monthly subscription costs 14.99 euros, or 149.99 euros per year, with no long-term commitment required. The feature is also included with Coyote Max, a hardware device sold for 299 euros through specialized retailers, which also requires a subscription to the service, starting at the same 14.99 euros per month. Coyote plans to offer users seven free days of access before requiring a paid subscription. The company describes the alert as an "educational" tool, designed to help drivers be aware of the areas they are entering and avoid unintentional violations rather than reacting after the fact. The zones marked by Coyote typically cover situations that are familiar to most urban drivers, such as bus lanes, bike gates, and parking spaces where vehicles are not allowed to stay for too long. These are types of violations that often go unnoticed until a fine is received in the mail. However, the presence of a camera does not automatically result in a ticket. Instead, authorized officers review the footage in real time from a control center and decide whether to issue a fine. Common violations include running red lights, driving the wrong way, crossing lane markings, using bus lanes, or illegal parking. Since June 2024, additional checks have also been introduced for vehicles at level crossings and those that do not meet size restrictions on certain bridges.
