Los Angeles city leaders have approved the installation of 125 speed cameras across the city's 15 districts as part of a five-year pilot program aimed at reducing traffic fatalities. The initiative, authorized by a 2023 bill, seeks to address the high number of traffic deaths, with speed being a significant factor. The cameras will be installed from now until July, covering areas from the San Fernando Valley to San Pedro. Once operational, drivers will have a 60-day grace period before fines are issued for exceeding speed limits by 11 mph or more. The fines range from $50 to $500, depending on the speed over the limit. The program also includes a diversion option for low-income violators, allowing them to enroll in a payment plan or perform community service instead of paying fines.
