Program Closed

On June 7, 2010 an Oakland Tribune article revealed that Union City would not be renewing the contract, which expired during June.

Some of Union City'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 and Set # 1, below.

If you have a Union City red light camera ticket that you haven't taken care of yet, please be sure to contact me.

2010


































This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.
Official reports, July 2005 - April 2010

[  ] 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]  Due to time limitations (on the part of highwayrobbery.net and on the part of the City), data was requested for only the months shown.
[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.




Union City Docs Set # 2
"Late Time" Graphs

  The City provided bar graphs of Late Times, etcetera, for all of its cameras, for July 2007 and April 2010.
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.)
