Speeders beware: 125 traffic cameras are coming to L.A., along with hefty fines. What you need to know

By the end of the summer, 125 speed cameras will be installed on dozens of streets throughout Los Angeles, specifically on roads that are in school zones, are known street-racing corridors or where speeding has resulted in a high rate of traffic accidents.

On Tuesday, Los Angeles became the latest city to gain approval from its leaders to install the cameras throughout the city’s 15 districts, from the San Fernando Valley to San Pedro.

Installation will take place between April and July. Drivers who are photographed going 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit will have a 60-day grace period before they’re fined.

The move is part of a five-year pilot program authorized by a bill signed in 2023 that was designed to combat speeding and an alarming rise in traffic deaths.

Traffic fatalities in Los Angeles declined from 2024 to 2025, but the number of deaths from accidents remains persistently high, according to a recent report by the Los Angeles Department of Transportation.

Speed accounts for nearly one-third of all traffic fatalities, according to officials.

Roadway speed cameras have been proved to reduce speeding by 31% to 82% and fatal crashes by 53% to 71%, according to LADOT.

The statewide pilot program includes the cities of Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach and San Francisco.

San Francisco installed more than 26,000 speed cameras in 2024 and 122,000 the following year, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Other cities began installing their cameras this year, including Oakland, which installed 18 in January. The Long Beach is set to install 18 cameras this spring, Glendale is scheduled to add nine this spring and San Jose plans to add 33 this summer.

When will the cameras go up and when will speeders be fined?

Cameras will be installed and tested between the months of April and July.

Once the cameras are operational, drivers will have a 60-day grace period before they’re fined for going 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit.

How much is the fine?

The penalty for violating the speed limit depends on how fast the driver is going.

The fines are:

$50 for driving 11 to 15 mph over the speed limit.
$100 for driving 16 to 25 mph over the speed limit.
$200 for driving 26 mph or more over the speed limit.
$500 for driving 100 mph over the speed limit.
