Yuba City Documents (Program Closed)

Some of Yuba 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.

This table made by highwayrobbery.net, using official reports provided by the City under the California Public Records Act.

Official reports, 2006 - 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]  Except where noted otherwise, the figures given in the table are for the single calendar month indicated. 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]  Monthly data was requested on ----- but has not yet been received.
[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.

"Late Time" Graphs

The City 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.)


Graphs, 2006, 2007, 2010 (Big file)
Graphs, LIGA 2007 (Not yet available)


Grand Terrace late times bar chart
The picture above is an example from another city.


Bar graphs are available for forty other cities - see the
list in the expanded version of Defect # 9.




Yuba City Docs Set # 3
The Contract, Etc. (Program Closed)

2005 Contract

The City's contract with RedFlex includes (look in the contract's Exhibit D) an illegal "cost neutrality" clause, whereby the city will not have to pay RedFlex the full rent if there aren't enough fines to cover the cost.  (For other cities with similar clauses see Subsection B of Defect # 10, on the Home page.)

A Jan. 2011 police department memo revealed that as of Dec. 31, 2010 the City owed RedFlex $330,577.08, due to cost neutrality adjustments.

On Mar. 22, 2012, CalTrans denied the City's request for an encroachment permit to place a camera at the intersection of Route 20 (Colusa Avenue) and Plumas Street.

On May 15, 2012 the city council voted to accept a police department recommendation to let the contract expire on May 31.

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

Info on YCPD or Court's Site

The only red light camera program info I could find at the police department's website was a single FAQ.

The Superior Court has a page with information.




Yuba City Docs Set # 5
Longer Yellow Needed?

In the March 2012 letter (copy at link above) denying the City's request for an encroachment permit, CalTrans noted that they would be examining the posted speed limit for Route 20 (Colusa Avenue) at Plumas.  Internal emails from  March 2012 indicate that the process was begun.  highwayrobbery.net is inquiring to find out what the decision was.  



Yuba City Docs Set # 6
More Coming

There may be some more Yuba City information posted in the next few weeks.  Mark your calendar to remind you to come back here and look!
