Violations Recorded
and Citations
Issued [5] New
11-6-04, updated 1-13-12
This table
made by highwayrobbery.net, using official monthly tabulations of
citations actually issued.
Official tabulations, Jan. 2007 - Apr. 2010 Official tabulations, 2010 - 2011 [ ] 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] Data for months other than January and July is available from the city, but has not been requested. [5] 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 months or locations. If there is sufficient public interest, the remaining months will be posted. The figures in black type are what ACS (the city's camera supplier before 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). [6] 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.. [7] One of these camera codes (Cam #) will appear in the data bar above the photos on your ticket. [8] The title bar has been repeated solely for the convenience of the reader - there is no difference between it and the one at the top of the table. Montebello

"Late Time" Graphs The City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all eight 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. highwayrobbery.net requested bar graphs for each intersection for the months of Jul07, Jan09, Jul09, Apr10 and Oct11. The following are those received. BEGA 2009 - 2010 BEGA 2011 GAVC 2007 - 2010 GAVC 2011 MOBE 2009 - 2010 MOBE 2011 MOPA-01 2009 - 2010 MOPA-01 2011 MOPA-03 2009 - 2010 MOPA-03 2011 MOWH 2009 - 2010 MOWH 2011 VCGA 2009 - 2010 VCGA 2011 WAGR 2007 - 2010 WAGR 2011 Bar graphs are available for more than forty other cities - see the list in the expanded version of Defect # 9. Montebello Docs Set # 3 2006 RedFlex
Contract In 2010 the contract was amended to
substitute "Financial Feasibility" for "cost neutrality." The new
Financial Feasibility clause allows the City to cancel the contract
upon 30 days' notice. From Exhibit D, as amended: "...no out of pocket costs for the Customer." "Financial Feasibility includes, but is not
limited to, whether the Customer's costs, including payment to RedFlex,
exceeed or nearly exceeds the monthly revenue received by Customer." The 2010 amendment also provided for an
$18,000 monthly "concession" to the City, which had the effect of
reducing the monthly rent per camera to $3750. Many RedFlex
customers have negotiated lower prices, with at least seven of them
paying less than $3000, and had Montebello negotiated a $3000 price it
would have saved $216,000 in twelve months. See FAQ #
17. The one-year extension effective Feb. 2011
provided for a $28,000 monthly concession, which reduced the rent to
$2500 per camera.
