Los Angeles speed cameras map officially went live today, October 26, 2026, marking the beginning of the city's new automated speed enforcement program.
For drivers wondering where the new Los Angeles speed cameras are located, PhotoEnforced.com has updated its Los Angeles traffic camera map with the speed camera locations so drivers can see where automated enforcement is being deployed throughout the city.

The interactive map shows speed cameras alongside red light cameras and other photo enforcement locations throughout Los Angeles and Southern California.
Los Angeles Speed Cameras Are Now Active
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) officially launched its Speed Safety Systems Program on October 26. The program will eventually include 125 automated speed camera locations throughout the City of Los Angeles.
The rollout is happening in phases rather than activating all 125 cameras simultaneously. At launch, approximately one-fifth of the planned cameras are active and issuing warnings, while additional cameras are expected to come online through the end of 2026.
This makes it particularly important for drivers to understand that the Los Angeles speed camera map will continue changing as additional locations become operational.
PhotoEnforced.com will continue updating its map as camera locations and activation information become available.
Where Are the New Los Angeles Speed Cameras?
The new speed cameras are being installed on streets throughout Los Angeles, including locations in and around:
Hollywood
West Los Angeles
South Los Angeles
Downtown Los Angeles
Mid-City
the San Fernando Valley
Northeast Los Angeles
other high-risk traffic corridors throughout the city
Major corridors associated with the city's speed camera rollout include streets such as La Brea Avenue, Fairfax Avenue, Melrose Avenue, La Cienega Boulevard, Sunset Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, Venice Boulevard and Highland Avenue.
Rather than trying to memorize a long list of streets and intersections, drivers can use the PhotoEnforced Los Angeles camera map to visually see camera locations throughout the region.
The map can also help drivers distinguish speed cameras from the many other cameras visible along Los Angeles streets.

PhotoEnforced.com has tracked photo enforcement locations for more than two decades, including red light cameras, speed cameras, toll cameras and automatic license plate reader cameras.
Our Los Angeles map has now been updated to include the city's new speed camera locations.

Drivers can zoom into their neighborhood, commute or frequently traveled streets to see where cameras are located.
Because Los Angeles is activating the cameras in stages, drivers should check the map regularly as additional locations are added or updated.
How Do Los Angeles Speed Cameras Work?
Los Angeles' new automated speed enforcement cameras are designed to detect vehicles traveling significantly above the posted speed limit.
According to LADOT, the cameras can identify vehicles traveling 11 mph or more above the posted speed limit.
When a qualifying speeding violation occurs, the system photographs the vehicle's rear license plate. The information is then used by the city to send a notice to the vehicle's registered owner.
LADOT says the systems are designed around license-plate enforcement rather than photographing drivers' faces.
The city's stated goal is to reduce dangerous speeding and serious traffic collisions, particularly along streets with histories of speeding, crashes and vulnerable road users.
Will Drivers Get Speed Camera Tickets Immediately?
No.
One of the most important things Los Angeles drivers should know about today's launch is that the cameras begin with a 60-day warning period.
During this initial period, motorists detected traveling at least 11 mph above the posted speed limit can receive a warning rather than a monetary citation.
The 60-day warning period applies when a speed camera is newly activated. Because Los Angeles is rolling out its cameras in stages, different camera locations may have different dates when their warning periods begin and end.
After the applicable warning period expires, the city can begin issuing monetary citations.
How Much Are Los Angeles Speed Camera Tickets?
Once the warning period ends, automated speeding fines begin at $50.
The fine schedule increases based on how far above the speed limit a vehicle is traveling.
According to information released about the program, fines are structured approximately as follows:
11–15 mph over the speed limit: $50
16–25 mph over the speed limit: $100
26 mph or more over the speed limit: $200
Driving 100 mph or faster: $500
The simplest way to avoid receiving a warning or citation is to pay close attention to posted speed limits—especially on streets included in the city's automated enforcement program.
Why Did Los Angeles Install Speed Cameras?
Los Angeles says speeding remains a major contributor to serious and fatal crashes.
According to LADOT, approximately one in five fatal crashes in Los Angeles in 2024 was directly attributed to speeding.
The city's 125-camera pilot focuses on streets with histories of speeding and crashes while also considering areas where pedestrians and other vulnerable road users are concentrated, including locations near schools and senior facilities.
Los Angeles is participating in a California pilot program authorized by Assembly Bill 645, which allowed selected California cities to establish automated speed enforcement programs.
Speed Cameras vs. Red Light Cameras in Los Angeles
Drivers should also understand the difference between a speed camera and a red light camera.
A speed camera is designed primarily to identify vehicles exceeding a specified speed threshold.
A red light camera is designed to photograph vehicles that enter an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red.
There are also many ordinary traffic-monitoring cameras throughout Los Angeles that do not issue tickets.
This distinction can sometimes be difficult to make simply by looking at roadside equipment, which is one reason PhotoEnforced.com categorizes different types of cameras on its maps.
Los Angeles Speed Camera Map Will Continue to Be Updated
October 26 represents the beginning—not the end—of Los Angeles' speed camera rollout.
The city ultimately plans to operate 125 speed safety systems, and LADOT expects the full network to be activated by the end of 2026.
As additional cameras become operational, PhotoEnforced.com will continue updating the Los Angeles speed camera map to help drivers identify photo enforcement locations.
If you drive in Los Angeles, bookmark the map and check it periodically as the rollout continues.
