Los Angeles is expected begin activating new cameras on streets across the city near the end of the month as part of a state law approved in 2024 aimed to curb speeding and to improve street safety, it was announced Thursday.
L.A. Department of Transportation General Manager Laura Rubio-Cornejo said the first set of cameras will be up in running on Oct. 26 with the goal of having all 125 cameras activated before the end of the year. For each camera, a 60-day warning period will follow from the date of activation, meaning drivers who speed 11 mph or more above the speed limit will receive a written warning only.
After the warning period concludes, a first violation for traveling 11-15 mph above the speed limit will receive a warning while subsequent violations will receive civil speeding violations, starting at $50 and rising as speed increases. A vehicle traveling 16 mph or more over the speed limit will receive a civil speeding violation, starting at $100. The full schedule of fines can be seen at LAspeedsafety.org…
