Newly implemented speed safety cameras in Oakland, California, have recorded approximately 82,000 citations during their first month of operation, according to preliminary data from the city’s Department of Transportation.
The data, covering March 15 to April 25, shows that the 35 cameras across 18 locations issued an average of 60 tickets per day per camera. Although the system was initially activated on January 14, the city was required by state law to give drivers a 60-day grace period during which only warning notices were sent.
