Preliminary data from Oakland\u2019s Department of Transportation shows that it issued an average of 60 citations per day per camera between March 15 and April 25. Though the 35 cameras at 18 locations were first activated on Jan. 14, the city did not start issuing fines for the first 60 days they were in operation.<\/p><\/div>

Following the grace period, the fines now start at $50 for drivers going 11 to 15 mph over the posted speed limit. Drivers caught going 16 to 25 mph over the limit are fined $100, and driving more than 25 mph racks up a $200 ticket. If a vehicle is caught going more than 100 mph or more in general on the city streets, the fine is $500.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The top location for official citations was along southbound 2345 73rd Ave. with 8,127 speeding tickets. The highest speed recorded in that area was 43.7 mph. However, that location was not where the fastest drivers were caught.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>

The top speed was 55.3 mph at southbound Hegenberger Road between Spencer and Hawley streets, where 6,902 citations were issued. The other top locations were northbound 2206 73rd Ave. (6,147 citations), 2710 Broadway (6,118 citations) and 1050 West Grand Ave. (5,406 citations).\u00a0<\/p><\/div>
