Speeding Ticket

The City of Oakland started giving speeding tickets in March 2026. These speeding tickets come from street cameras, which detect if vehicles are going to fast.  If a vehicle is traveling 11 MPH or more over the speed limit, then the camera takes a photo of the rear license plate. A speeding ticket is then sent in the mail automatically. A speeding ticket is a civil penalty. For a more detailed legal explanation, please visit this webpage.

How much are Speeding Tickets? 

The table below shows how much a speeding ticket can be if you qualify as low-income or a public benefits recipient. For example, if the vehicle was 11-15 MPH over the speed limit and you receive Public Benefits the speeding ticket amount changes from $50 to $10. That is a Public Benefits discount of $40.
