City of Los Angeles Documents (Program Closed)
(and Information)

Los Angeles, pop. 3,900,000, has a land area of 470 sq. miles.

LA City's program has closed, and officers will no longer appear in court on red light camera cases. See Set # 9, on the continuation page.

It may be possible to completely ignore a City of Los Angeles 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 tickets to the DMV. More info
is in "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

Is your ticket really from the City of LA?

To add to the confusion already surrounding red light camera tickets, some City of LA tickets
show "Van Nuys" as the city issuing the ticket. Please note that Van Nuys
is not a separate city - it is a district, or neighborhood, within the City of LA,
and is policed by the LAPD. So are San Pedro and Hollywood.
West Hollywood is a separate city, not part of the City of LA.

If your ticket was issued/signed by the LA County Sheriff:

If "your" intersection is in or near the City of LA and near a Metro/MTA rail line
or busway, and your ticket was issued/signed by the LA County Sheriff,
your ticket came from a camera operated by the Metro/MTA,
which has its own section on the Camera Towns page.

If your ticket was issued/signed by the LA County Sheriff but is from a camera
not near a rail line or busway, it could be from the City of West Hollywood,
the City of Commerce, or Cerritos. Each has its own section on the Camera Towns page.

If your ticket was issued/signed by the CHP, it could be from a camera operated by
the County of Los Angeles, which has its own section on the Camera Towns page.

If you have a City of Los Angeles ticket for a rolling right
at an intersection where a green right turn arrow is displayed some of the time,
please be sure to contact the editor of this site.

Be sure to read the "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

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

For the post-2006 system, each intersection listed above includes the ticket counts for two cameras (two compass directions of enforcement), except for Grand / Venice, which has only one.

[ ] Indicates a footnote.
[1] Totals and averages 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] Figures in red type are "raw" violations recorded by the red light cameras. The figures in black type are
citations issued. Counts may have been posted only for selected months or intersections, due to time limitations.
If there is sufficient public interest, additional counts may be posted.

[5] Intersection-by-intersection data has been requested but has not yet been received.
[6] The camera enforcement is on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of
enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left) is not yet available.
[7] Location number. These location numbers all begin with the numeral '4.'
[8] Cells highlighted in red mark some (but not all) large decreases in ticket counts.
[9] Figures in ( ) are speed warning notices issued 2003 - 2004 at DeSoto/Roscoe and Van Nuys/Nordhoff.
[10] Indicates position of intersection in original source data used by editor to
construct table. Source Data: 2006-2009 annual counts.
[11] New = New intersection as of 2006 installation of Nestor system. Con'td = Location continued from
old ACS system.
[12] 2009 data is through June only.
[13] Accidents before and after: 6-Month accidents before cameras/6-Month accidents
after the installation of cameras, per CBS-2 report of 11-9-09. The grand total
is by highwayrobbery.net, and shows a 24% overall increase.
[14] Figures in blue type are citations issued for right turns. Data was received for only the four months shown.
