Speed camera fines in San José
The complete AB 645 fine schedule for speed safety system violations in San José. The amounts are set by state law, so they are the same in all six pilot cities — what differs is what each agency has published about reductions and how to respond.
Fine Schedule
11–15 mph over
16–25 mph over
26+ mph over
100+ mph
Key Facts
No DMV points
These are civil penalties, not moving violations. They add no points to your driving record and are not reported as moving violations.
The notice goes to the registered owner
The system photographs a rear licence plate, not a driver. Whoever the vehicle is registered to receives the notice, regardless of who was driving.
Reductions are required by the statute
AB 645 requires income-based reductions and payment plans. Where the operating agency publishes the reduced amounts, they are shown above.
Speed is not the only threshold
A citation is only issued at 11 mph or more over the posted limit. Below that, the system records nothing chargeable.
