What this camera means for you

This is one of 18 speed safety systems Long Beach Public Works is deploying under California AB 645. It photographs the rear licence plate of vehicles travelling 11 mph or more over the posted limit — on this street, that means 36 mph or above.

Citations are civil penalties, not moving violations. They do not add points to your driving record and are not reported to your insurer as a moving violation. Fines start at $50, and low-income drivers can request reductions or payment plans.

When cameras are first activated on a street, California AB 645 requires a 60-day warning period during which only warnings are issued.
