Long Beach is implementing a new initiative to enhance traffic safety by introducing automated speed cameras. This program is part of a broader state pilot, aiming to reduce speeding incidents and improve road conditions for residents. The deployment is scheduled to begin in the fall of 2026, with a phased approach to warnings and enforcement.
- The city will install a total of 18 automated speed safety cameras across various locations. These cameras are designed to monitor vehicle speeds and issue citations to drivers who exceed the posted limits. The program is set to commence with a warning period, starting in October 2026, allowing drivers to become aware of the new enforcement measures.
- Following the warning phase, actual citations will begin to be issued in December 2026. This phased rollout is intended to give drivers ample opportunity to adjust their driving habits. The implementation is part of a state pilot program, indicating a potential for wider adoption if successful in Long Beach. The primary goal is to deter speeding and create safer streets for pedestrians and other motorists.
