Los Angeles speed cameras go live Oct. 26: Locations and fines
The five-year pilot begins with mailed warnings before civil fines start, and officials say speed caused about one in five fatal crashes in 2024.
- Los Angeles activated the first wave of approximately 20 cameras on Monday, October 26, 2026, launching the Speed Safety Systems Program to combat dangerous driving across major city corridors.
- Authorized by California Assembly Bill 645, the initiative targets nearly 300 annual traffic fatalities in Los Angeles by deploying 125 cameras across all 15 council districts by year-end.
- Every camera location initiates a mandatory 60-day warning period, during which drivers traveling 11 mph or more over the limit receive $0 warning notices in the mail before official fines begin.
- Motorists face tiered civil fines ranging from $50 for 11–15 mph over the limit to $500 for speeds of 100 mph or more, though cameras capture rear license plates without facial recognition capability.
- Early data from San Francisco shows up to a 72% reduction in severe speeding along monitored corridors; the city will submit a comprehensive safety and economic impact report to the state legislature after the five-year pilot concludes.
