San Jose's Speed Camera Program

San Jose, the largest city in the Bay Area by population, is participating in the AB 645 speed camera pilot program. Cameras are deployed in school zones and high-injury corridors identified by the city’s Department of Transportation. The program focuses on streets with documented speed-related safety concerns, particularly near schools and in residential neighborhoods.

Fine Amounts

Fines are structured on a tiered basis depending on the speed over the posted limit. First-time violations at lower speeds carry smaller fines, while higher speeds and repeat offenses result in larger penalties. AB 645 citations do not carry DMV points 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

You can contest a San Jose speed camera ticket by requesting an administrative review with the issuing agency. Submit a written objection explaining your grounds for contesting the citation. The review is handled by the city, not through the court system.
