San Francisco has become the first city in California to implement speed cameras to enhance street safety, following state legislation enacted in 2023. Over the next two months, warnings will be issued to speeding drivers caught on camera, with fines ranging from $50 to $500 thereafter. While San Francisco leads this initiative, other cities like Oakland and Malibu are preparing their own programs. Oakland aims to install cameras by the year’s end, while Malibu is expediting installations along dangerous roadways, all in an effort to improve traffic safety across California.
No matter how you get around our city, you should be able to do it without fearing for your life. That is why I am proud that San Francisco is now the first city in California to implement automated speed cameras.
Oakland may be the next city to have speed cameras installed and monitoring their streets. The city already selected intersection locations last year, and the city ‘hopes’ to have the cameras installed by the end of this year.
San Jose put out a similar survey last September. The survey has closed and there have been no other public statements about the program. Currently, the program is not funded in the city budget.
Just days after Governor Gavin Newsom signed the legislation allowing Malibu to install cameras, the city put out a request for proposals for cameras along the deadliest portions of the Pacific Coast Highway.
