San José is installing speed safety cameras at 33 locations around the city to make our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers – and Saratoga Avenue is one of the first streets to get them. Saratoga Avenue is one of the City’s Vision Zero priority safety corridors.
What to expect:
- Starting December 14, drivers going 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit will receive a warning notice in the mail.
- The warning period lasts until 60 days after the last camera is turned on.
- After that, violation notices start at $50, with higher amounts for higher speeds.
- The cameras photograph only the rear license plate – the City says there is no facial recognition and no image of the people in the car.
A map of the camera locations and more details are on the City’s Speed Safety Cameras project page.
