Overview
- Preliminary OakDOT data show roughly 82,000 citations were issued between March 15 and April 25 after the city ended a 60‑day warning period.
- The automated network uses 35 cameras at 18 locations that were activated in mid‑January and averaged about 60 citations and 50 warnings per camera per day during the March‑April window.
- Fines are civil penalties tiered by speed starting at $50 for 11–15 mph over the limit and rising to $100, $200 or $500 for higher speeds, with state‑mandated low‑income discounts and diversion options available.
- Certain sites became enforcement hotspots, including southbound 2345 73rd Avenue with 8,127 citations and southbound Hegenberger Road between Spencer and Hawley with 6,902 citations and the highest recorded speed of 55.3 mph.
- City reports list about $2.5 million in annual operating costs and say actual net revenue will depend on discounts and appeals, with a full before‑and‑after safety and fiscal analysis planned for release late this summer.
