City of Los Angeles Documents
(and Information)

The City of Los Angeles, pop. 4,000,000, has a land area of 470 sq. miles, and is located in Los Angeles County,
which has a land area of 4752 sq. miles and a pop. of 10,000,000.

It may be possible to completely ignore your 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 - from any location or city inside the County - to the DMV. More info
is in "Countywide Information," which is Docs Set # 2 on the LA County Documents page.

The camera program run by the City of Los Angeles closed in 2011, so unless your ticket was issued in 2011 or before,
your camera ticket wasn't issued by the City of LA or the LAPD!
So, who issued it?

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, Lynwood, or Cerritos. Each of those cities has its own section on the Camera Towns page.

Other camera cities near the City of LA are Beverly Hills, Culver City, Hawthorne and Montebello. Their tickets are signed by their local police.

If you're still not sure who issued your ticket, see the Disambiguation section, at the bottom of the Camera Towns page.

If you do have a pre-2012 ticket signed by the LAPD, see Set # 9, on the continuation page.

And (please pardon the repeat), 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 had 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 were 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 was requested but was not received.
[6] The camera enforcement was on traffic on the first-named street, but the direction of
enforcement (north, south, east, west, thru, left) was not 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.
