LADOT has published 125 camera sites across all 15 council districts. Warnings started October 26. Here is where they are, what speed sets them off, and what a ticket costs.
Los Angeles is one of six California cities running speed safety cameras under AB 645, a pilot that runs through January 1, 2032. The city’s 125 sites are spread almost evenly: every council district got eight or nine.
The cameras are not on freeways. They sit on the surface arterials where LADOT’s data shows speed-related crashes, high traffic volumes and nearby schools — Victory, Sherman Way, Vanowen and Nordhoff in the Valley; Figueroa, Florence, Gage and Slauson in South LA; Olympic and Sunset through the middle of the city.
For the first 60 days, drivers caught over the threshold get a warning in the mail. After that, the same reading becomes a citation.
Most cameras sit on 35 mph streets — and won’t flag you below 46
A camera only records a violation at 11 mph or more over the posted limit. Here is how the 125 sites break down by posted speed, with the reading that triggers a citation on each.
What a ticket costs once warnings end
| Speed over the limit | Fine |
|---|---|
| 11–15 mph | $50 |
| 16–25 mph | $100 |
| 26 mph or more | $200 |
| 100 mph or faster | $500 |
Citations are civil penalties, mailed to the registered owner from a photo of the rear plate. They are not moving violations, add no points, and are not reported to insurers as such. AB 645 requires income-based reductions and payment plans. See the full Los Angeles fine schedule.

We’ll email you once when Los Angeles starts issuing real tickets. No account, no location tracking, no other mail.
Is Los Angeles issuing tickets yet?
No. The 60-day warning period began October 26, 2026. Until it ends, violations produce a warning notice only.
Are the cameras on freeways?
No. Every site is on a city surface street. LADOT publishes each one as an enforcement zone — a stretch between two cross streets — rather than a single point.
How were the sites chosen?
LADOT weighed speed-related collisions, the share of drivers over the limit, daily volume, school proximity and equity investment areas. Each camera page shows the numbers for that site.
Does a camera ticket affect insurance?
It adds no points to your driving record and is not reported as a moving violation.
