LA’s Speed Cameras Are Live — Save Our Google Map of All the Locations

Los Angeles switched on its first automated speed cameras Monday, Oct. 26, with 26 of the 125 planned camera corridors now active. The remaining locations are expected to come online by the end of the year.

For now, drivers caught speeding will receive warnings. Each camera location has a 60-day warning period before the city begins mailing citations, which range from $50 to $500 depending on how far above the speed limit a vehicle is traveling. The first fines are expected to arrive in late December.

To show drivers exactly where enforcement is taking place, we built a map of all 125 monitored road segments. Active corridors appear in red, while locations still under construction are marked in purple. It’s free, and you can save it to Google Maps on your computer or phone in about a minute here:

How the program works

The cameras photograph the rear license plate of any vehicle traveling at least 11 mph over the posted speed limit. The registered owner receives a notice by mail within 15 days. Each location has two cameras, covering traffic in both directions.

LADOT issues the citations as civil penalties, separate from police-issued tickets. Drivers will not receive points on their licenses, according to the department, and have 30 days from the mailing date to request a review.

Low-income drivers can apply for a payment plan or complete community service in place of paying the fine.

Privacy. The cameras capture rear license plates, not images of drivers or passengers. Data from plates that do not result in a ticket must be deleted within five business days. LADOT says it will not share the information with local, state or federal agencies without a court order.

The money. LADOT estimates the program will cost approximately $7.95 million annually. Revenue from citations will first cover operating expenses. Any surplus must be directed toward traffic-calming projects within three years.

Why now. California lawmakers authorized the cameras in 2023 through Assembly Bill 645, establishing a five-year pilot program that runs through 2032. LADOT says speeding contributed directly to roughly one in five fatal crashes in Los Angeles in 2024. The LAPD recorded 290 traffic deaths in 2025. San Francisco, the first California city to activate its speed cameras, has reported reductions in speeding of more than 70% at camera locations.

Where the cameras are

All 15 Los Angeles City Council districts will have eight or nine camera corridors. LADOT began by identifying its Priority Safety Corridors, a network of 550 miles of streets with the city’s worst crash records. The department then evaluated individual road segments using factors including speed-related crashes, measured speeding and proximity to schools and senior centers.

LADOT provided each council office with its 14 highest-scoring locations, and each office selected seven. Department staff chose the remaining 20 sites. Most monitored stretches cover just a few blocks, typically a quarter-mile or less.

The map includes all 125 corridors, including the 99 where cameras are still under construction.

Tap any corridor to view its street name, cross streets, speed limit and current enforcement status.
