City of Beverly Hills Documents
(and Information)

Beverly Hills, pop. 34,000, is 8 miles west of downtown Los Angeles.

It may be possible to completely ignore a Beverly Hills ticket !

1. If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is a fake ticket, which I call a "Snitch Ticket." For more details about Snitch Tickets, see the Snitch Ticket section at the top of the Your Ticket page.

2. The LA County Superior Court does not report ignored red light camera tickets to the DMV. More info is in "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports of citations actually issued.

( ) indicates a footnote.
(1) Totals are as provided by the City.
(2) YTD = Year-to-date total.
(3) Un-used columns are to allow for later expansion of City's system.
(4) Monthly average for the year indicated.
(5) Monthly total of bail paid, fines paid, traffic school paid, in thousands of Dollars.
(6) Quarterly or monthly data was requested on:

(7) Any figures in red type (or, if you are looking at this table in black and white, the upper figure
when there are two or more figures in a cell) are what RedFlex calls Total Violations, or all incidents
recorded by the cameras, and due to time limitations may have been posted here only for selected
intersections or months. If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining intersections and/or months will be posted. The
figures in black type are what ACS (the city's camera supplier until 2007) calls Citations Issued and
RedFlex (the supplier after 2007) calls Notices Printed, and represent the sum of genuine
citations issued (those filed with the court) plus any Nominations mailed (not filed with
the court, a.k.a. Snitch Tickets).

(8) The camera enforcement is believed to be on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction
of enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left, right) is not yet available..
(9) One of these camera codes (Cam #) will appear in the data bar above the
photos on your ticket.
(10) The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader -
there is no difference between it and the one (for the RedFlex system) near the top of the table.
(11) Intersection-by-intersection data for this month has not been posted in the table, but is available
at one of the links just below the table.
(12) Data for this month has not been requested.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all of its cameras.
These graphs track violations recorded, not tickets issued.
Where there is a large number of long Late Time violations in a curb lane, it is believed to indicate heavy ticketing on right turns.
(The curb lane will be the lane with the highest lane number.)

The picture above is an example from another city.

The Contract

The 2007 Contract

In Sept. 2012 the City extended the contract to Oct. 2013. The City did not negotiate a lower price, so will be paying approx. $277,000 too much for the year. See FAQ # 17.

This list of contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a contract or amendment later than the one listed above.
