All 33 of SF's speed cameras are officially live Here's when citations start going out

San Francisco's speed cameras became operational on June 6, with citations scheduled to begin on August 5 for drivers exceeding speed limits by 11 miles per hour. Fines will range from $50 for speeds of 11 to 15 miles over the limit to as much as $500 for more severe violations. Authorities issued 31,000 warnings in April, demonstrating a significant effort to educate drivers before penalties are enforced. This initiative is part of the city's #VisionZero campaign, which seeks to eliminate traffic-related deaths and injuries. Residents can access information about camera locations and enforcement details online.

The program reflects a broader trend among urban centers to leverage technology for traffic safety. The city aims to enhance compliance with speed regulations and reduce road hazards. This proactive strategy is essential for fostering safer streets for all users.
