San Francisco has launched a pilot program featuring speed cameras that ticket drivers without the presence of an officer. After one month of issuing warnings, over 1,000 speed violations were recorded daily, with Fulton Street being the major violator. The program, authorized by Assembly Bill 645 for various California cities, will transition to issuing citations in August 2025, starting at $50 for minor infractions and escalating to $500 for severe violations, aiming to improve road safety across the city.
In the first month of the pilot program, more than 1,000 speeders were detected each day, averaging significant infractions and revealing high congestion on specific streets.
The pilot program has specifically highlighted Fulton Street, where 44% of speed violations occurred, drawing attention to areas needing urgent traffic management.
Penalties for speeding detected by cameras will range from $50 to $500, depending on how much above the speed limit a driver exceeds.
Assembly Bill 645 facilitated the introduction of speed cameras in San Francisco and five other California cities to enhance road safety and reduce violations.
