Some of Oakland's tickets can possibly be ignored. If your "ticket" does not have the Superior Court's name and address on it, it is what I call a "Snitch Ticket." For more details, see the Snitch Ticket section on the Your Ticket page.

If you have an Oakland red light camera ticket, be sure to look at the Countywide Information section, below.

[ ] 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] 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 RedFlex 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).
[5] Data was requested on (date):
[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] Includes enforcement of posted "no turn on red" signs.
[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.
[9] Feb. 2012 data was produced on Mar. 1 so may not include tickets still being processed.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City has provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all 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.

Encroachment Permits

Some of the City's cameras are located on CalTrans right-of-ways, so are operated under an encroachment permit obtained from CalTrans. HighwayRobbery.net obtained these documents from CalTrans, via a public records request.

Permit Application, Dec. 2008
Justification Correspondence, Jan. 2009
Issued Permit, Apr. 2009

Some other cities operate cameras under encroachment permits. For more information about those cities and about CalTrans' criteria for the issuance of an encroachment permit, see the CalTrans section on the Links page.

Oakland Docs Set # 4
The Contracts and Amendments

2007 Contract

The City signed a contract with RedFlex on Aug. 31, 2007.

The contract is "flat rate" - it does not include an illegal "cost neutrality" clause.

The contract also says: Definitions. "Warning Period" means the period of thirty (30) days after the Installation Date of the first intersection approach. (Emphasis added.) See Defect # 6.

This info about contracts and amendments may not be up-to-date - there could be a contract or amendment later than the ones listed above.

Countywide Information

The info in Set # 6 is applicable throughout Alameda County - including Emeryville, Oakland, San Leandro, Hayward, Newark, and Fremont.
But only in Alameda County.

Read this Nov. 16, 2011 article. If you want to get away from Commissioner Lonsdale (mentioned in the article), go to my Challenges page and read about Peremptory Challenge.

There was a protest on Feb. 4, 2012. If you would like to join the next one, contact me.

Countywide rankings of camera activity are available here.
