Speed safety cameras are a proven, life-saving tool to reduce injuries and fatalities on city streets. Oakland is one of six cities in California participating in a five-year pilot program to install and operate speed cameras under Assembly Bill 645. Cameras have been issuing warnings as of January 14, 2026 and will begin issuing speeding tickets on March 15, 2026.
