Oakland's Speed Camera Program

Oakland is participating in California’s AB 645 speed camera pilot program, with cameras deployed along high-injury streets and school zones throughout the city. The program is administered by the City of Oakland and focuses on corridors with documented histories of speed-related collisions. Oakland’s program is part of the broader effort to improve pedestrian and cyclist safety in the East Bay.

Fine Amounts

Fine amounts are based on a tiered structure depending on the speed over the posted limit. First offenses at lower speeds carry smaller fines, while higher speeds and repeat violations result in increased penalties. AB 645 citations do not add DMV points to your driving record and are not reported to insurance companies.

Speed Over LimitFine
11–15 mph over$50
16–25 mph over$100–$200 (scaled)
26+ mph over$200–$500 (scaled)

Administrative Review Process

If you receive a speed camera notice from Oakland, you can request an administrative review by submitting a written objection to the issuing agency. The review is conducted by the city, not the courts. You can challenge the citation on grounds such as not being the driver, camera malfunction, insufficient signage, or vehicle transfer.
