Speed camera on MacArthur Blvd.
Between Green Acre Road and Enos Ave · Glenview/Redwood Heights · CD 4
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 41 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:
“High observed speeds from vehicles traveling to and from I-580; long section of MacArthur without a traffic signal”— OakDOT, site selection notes
This block is on Oakland’s High Injury Network for: pedestrians, people on bikes. 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 38 mph on a road posted at 30 mph.
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 MacArthur Boulevard from Green Acre Rd to Enos Ave.
Published location: 37.78533, -122.19086
