sikkerhedskamera advarsler
A safety camera in some places is different to a speed camera. A safety camera looks over the traffic (i.e. on motorways) and an authority figure looks at it to see if there are emergencies like accidents, congestion, speeding, terrorists etc and a speed camera measures your speed and takes a picture of you if you are speeding.

Dan Schioenning Larsen
: I agree with you, that there are also non-photographing cameras for traffic flow surveillance purposes - but why would it be necessary to warn against those in GPS/navigation applications?

Fordi man kan vel godt nok advare folk mod en rute, hvor sikkerheden er dårlig. Professional drivers such as truck drivers use these kind of warnings alot.

Comment: "Tak, jeg tror, du har ret med den forklaring. Der er forskel på sikkerhedskameraer og fotofælder/fotovogne, selv om dette link tyder på det modsatte: http://www.fotofaelde.dk/buy.asp?width=980.

: Präpositionen 'for' virker umiddelbart forkert, men der mangler lidt kontekst. Er der tale om 'advarsel om et sikkerhedskamera'?

advarsel om fotofælde
They might call them safety cameras in England, but the Danish colloquial term is more accurate about their function (I think ;)).
The official name of the cameras is: Automatisk Trafikkontrol.
Some might call them "pengemaskiner". ;)

In the UK they have fixed cameras at certain locations, whereas in Denmark we only have the mobile cameras in the police vans (so far).

: Or fartfælde/hastighedskontrol as suggested elsewhere. Well done for being the only one to get the preposition right so far!

Tak! Ja, dine forslag er bruges også om disse djævelske kameraer. ;) Kan man høre, at jeg har prøvet at modtage sådan en hilsen fra politiet? :)

alarm for [automatisk] hastighedskontrol
Fartfælder er den mest brugte dagligdags betegnelse. Hvis kildetekstens stil lægger op til at man bruger en officiel betegnelse i stedet, er det vel Vejdirektoratets term, man skal bruge. Den er "automatisk hastighedskontrol". Det vil sige, at oversættelsen bør være "alarm for automatisk hastighedskontrol". Dette vil kunne fungere i en sætning i brødtekst. I en overskrift vil man ofte være nødt til at tilpasse oversættelsen længde til kildeteksten. I så fald vil jeg foreslå, at man skriver "alarm for hastighedskontrol"
