Valley's First Speed Cameras Now Operating: See Map Of Locations

LOS ANGELES, CA — Eight new speed cameras are now operating in the San Fernando Valley, with about three dozen more expected to go live by the end of the year as Los Angeles rolls out its new automated speed enforcement program.

The Valley cameras are among the first 26 activated Monday across the city of Los Angeles, kicking off a rollout expected to bring 125 speed cameras to city streets by the end of the year. That's on top of additional cameras being rolled out in three other Los Angeles County cities, including Glendale.

For now, drivers caught speeding by the cameras will receive warning notices in the mail rather than tickets. Fines will begin after a 60-day warning period at each location.

The city has published a map showing the locations of all 125 planned cameras, including those that are already operating.

The Los Angeles Department of Transportation selected the locations based on where speeding and crashes occur most frequently, as well as areas with high concentrations of children, seniors and other vulnerable pedestrians, officials said.

The effort comes as Los Angeles continues to grapple with a high number of traffic fatalities. In 2025, 290 people died in traffic collisions in the city, according to the Los Angeles Police Department's most recent data. Traffic deaths outnumbered homicides last year.

How Much Will Speed Camera Tickets Cost?

Once the warning period ends, drivers caught speeding will face fines based on how far they exceed the posted speed limit:

• 11-15 mph over: Written warning for the first time, $50 for repeat offenders
• 16-25 mph over: $100 fine
• 26 to 99 mph over: $200 fine
• 100 mph over: $500 fine

Other Cities' Camera Locations

The cameras are part of a statewide pilot program authorized by California lawmakers in 2023. The legislation allows seven cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Long Beach, Glendale and Malibu — to install automated speed enforcement cameras.

The warning period for Long Beach's 18 cameras began earlier this month. The cameras will begin issuing tickets on Dec. 7, according to the city.

Two more cameras are expected to be added next year.

Malibu earlier this month announced it has delayed the start of its speed camera warning period until November as it makes adjustments and continues a traffic study in eastern Malibu.

The specific timeline for the rollout of Glendale's nine cameras remains unclear. A city spokesperson told Patch earlier this month officials are "finalizing the contract and awaiting legal approval."

"Equipment installation is expected to be completed approximately 30 days after the contract is signed, with warning notices currently expected to begin approximately 60–90 days after contract execution," the spokesperson said.

Cameras Have Been Successful, Officials Say

Under the law, cameras can only be installed in designated safety corridors, school zones and areas with a history of street racing or sideshows. Cities must also distribute the cameras equitably across neighborhoods with different socioeconomic characteristics.

Los Angeles will have by far the most cameras of any city participating in the program. San Jose, which has the second-largest planned deployment, expects to install 28 cameras.

Other California cities have already begun issuing tickets through the program.

San Francisco's 33 speed cameras began issuing citations in August 2025. Between then and the end of April 2026, the city issued nearly 164,000 citations, according to the California Post.

San Francisco officials say the cameras have also led to significant changes in driver behavior. A study published earlier this year by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency found that speeding near the cameras decreased by 79% compared to levels before the program began.

Oakland activated 18 speed cameras in January, placing them along streets that account for 60% of the city's severe and fatal traffic collisions.

In the first six months, Oakland's cameras issued nearly 200,000 citations, KQED reported.

The statewide pilot program is scheduled to run through 2032, allowing officials to evaluate whether automated speed enforcement reduces dangerous driving and traffic deaths before potentially expanding the program to other California cities.
