After more than two years of public meetings, equity analysis, and engineering review, the City of Los Angeles has finalized the 125 locations where automated speed safety cameras will be installed under California Assembly Bill 645. The cameras are spread evenly across all fifteen council districts, and the program is the largest urban speed-enforcement deployment in California history.

This post lists every approved location, organized by council district, with the posted speed limit and whether the site is in a designated school zone or equity investment area. If you'd prefer to see these on a map, the interactive map shows all 125 cameras with filters by district, speed limit, and fine impact.

What AB 645 actually does

Governor Newsom signed AB 645 in October 2023, authorizing an automated speed enforcement pilot in six California cities — Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, and Long Beach — that runs through January 1, 2032, with each individual camera limited to five years of operation. Before AB 645, automated speed enforcement was banned statewide; only red-light cameras were permitted. AB 645 authorizes cameras on three types of streets: designated safety corridors, streets with documented histories of street racing or speed contests, and school zones.

LA's program is the largest of the six pilots: 125 cameras across 15 council districts. LADOT's site-selection process drew heavily from the High Injury Network — the 6% of streets where 70% of severe and fatal crashes occur. About two-thirds of the sites are in designated equity investment areas, reflecting decades of data showing that traffic deaths in LA are concentrated in lower-income and historically disinvested neighborhoods.

Enforcement timeline

AB 645 requires at least 30 days of public information campaign before enforcement begins, followed by a 60-day warning period where cameras issue warning notices instead of fines. After that, real fines begin. The statute also provides that a vehicle's first 11-15 mph violation in a designated jurisdiction is always a warning, never a fine.

• Year 4 and beyond: mandatory program evaluation; cameras with no measurable safety benefit may be relocated or removed.

The first cameras came online in early 2026. Check the interactive map for the current status of each location — sites still in the warning phase are shaded differently from those issuing live citations.

All 125 camera locations, by council district

Each entry lists the street, the segment endpoints, the posted speed limit, and any applicable site designations. A school zone flag means the camera is in an area meeting the school zone definition under Vehicle Code §40802(b); an equity area flag means the camera falls within a city-designated equity investment area.

Fine schedule: $50, $100, $200, $500

AB 645 set the base civil penalties directly in the statute, so they're identical across all six pilot cities. The threshold for any citation is 11 mph over the posted limit — drive 35 in a 25 and you'll get a warning if you're lucky, but you won't get a ticket. From there, the fine ladder steps up with each tier of speed:

Two things make this schedule unusual. First, the dollar amounts are much lower than equivalent traffic-court fines — a comparable officer-issued speeding ticket in LA County typically clears $200 with fees and surcharges even at the lowest tier. Second, AB 645 includes a mandatory income-based reduction under Vehicle Code §22429(c): indigent persons (as defined in Vehicle Code §22425(a)(3), which references Government Code §68632) can apply for an 80% fine reduction, and individuals up to 250 percent of the federal poverty level can apply for a 50% reduction. Payment plans and community service in lieu of payment are also available.

You can plug in a speed and a location on the interactive map's fine calculator to see exactly what a hypothetical citation would cost at any of the 125 sites. For a complete breakdown of fine amounts, fees, and reductions, see our full guide to LA speed camera ticket costs.
