Santa Ana Eyes Speed Cameras | Los Angeles News

Santa Ana is poised to become the next city in California’s speed camera pilot program, after its council narrowly voted to request state approval — hoping cameras will slash speeding and save lives. With over 3,400 collisions in 2025 — many tied to speeding — and streets like Segerstrom Avenue labeled deadly, officials argue police can’t patrol 24/7. But critics worry about privacy, being “test subjects,” and the steep price tag: $2 million to install 12 cameras, plus $1.5–2 million annually. The resolution passed 4-2, with a grace period of 60 days for warnings before tickets kick in — and the city may need to seek state or federal funds to make it work.
