Speed camera on Hegenberger Road
Between Spencer and Hawley · Central East Oakland · CD 6
What this camera means for you
This is one of 18 speed safety systems OakDOT operates 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 51 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.
Why this location was chosen
OakDOT publishes the data behind each site selection. For this location:
“Freeway-like segment with four travel lanes in each direction; proximity to speed-related injury collisions”— OakDOT, site selection notes
This block is on Oakland’s High Injury Network for: pedestrians, motor vehicles. That network is the small share of streets where most severe and fatal collisions happen.
The 85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85% of drivers travel. Here it is 57 mph on a road posted at 40 mph — above the citation threshold, meaning more than 15% of traffic was being cited-eligible before the camera went in.
Location
OakDOT publishes a camera location rather than an enforcement zone, so this is a point on the block, not the exact pole position. See it on the map.
OakDOT lists this location as Hegenberger Road from Spencer to Hawley St.
