Overview
- Installations will roll out across all 15 council districts from April through July, with early sites on Melrose Avenue and West Sunset Boulevard.
- LADOT will run a 60-day public education campaign, then a 60-day warning period before mailed citations begin later in 2026.
- Fines will be civil penalties set at $50 for 11–15 mph over the limit, $100 for 16–25 over, $200 for 26 or more over, and $500 for speeds above 100 mph.
- City officials estimate about $6.6 million in annual operating costs, while a National Motorists Association analysis projects roughly $64 million per year in fines that would be directed to street-safety projects.
- The five-year program aligns with Los Angeles’ Vision Zero push, and San Francisco’s similar system reported sharp drops in speeding that officials cite as evidence the approach can save lives.
