Overview

• SFMTA records show 16,555 fine-bearing citations in August, the first month of active fines after a 60‑day warning phase.
• Pneumatic‑tube checks at 15 corridors found a 72% average drop in speeding, with one intersection seeing a 92% reduction.
• One Bryant Street camera near I‑80 offramps generated about 4,087 tickets in August, illustrating how freeway‑adjacent, multi‑lane segments drive violations.
• Two‑thirds of vehicles that received a warning or citation have not reoffended, and first‑time 11–15 mph violations are warned under state rules.
• SFMTA cites more than $600,000 collected since fines began, while a Chronicle analysis estimated over $1.2 million in potential August fines if all were paid; officials note an early software error was corrected and one camera’s August data was missing, and AB 645 caps San Francisco at 33 camera systems.
