The camera on Venice Boulevard just west of Lincoln started recording on October 26. So did seven others on the Westside, part of a first wave of 26 locations citywide, according to LADOT's live camera map. In all, 16 of Los Angeles' 125 speed camera locations sit in Council Districts 5 and 11, the two districts that cover most of the Westside and a good piece of Mid-City.
Here is every one, what kind of street it is, and what I would want to know if I owned a house on it. One boundary note first: LA's program stops at the city line. Santa Monica, Culver City, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are their own cities, and LA's cameras do not cross into them, even where the block looks identical to the one next door.
The coast and Westchester
Venice Boulevard, Lincoln to Pisani Place. The run of Venice Boulevard west of Lincoln, posted at 35, heading for the sand. Commercial frontage, apartment buildings and walk-to-the-beach residential streets on both sides. First wave.
Washington Boulevard, Marr Street to Thatcher Avenue. The seam between Venice and Marina del Rey, posted at 35, and a beach access road for half the Westside on any sunny Saturday.
Vista Del Mar, Culver Boulevard to the city limit. The beach road below the Playa del Rey bluffs, posted at 40, running south toward El Segundo. Long, straight and tempting, which is precisely the problem.
La Tijera Boulevard, Manchester to 74th Street. Westchester, posted at 40. A wide arterial through a neighborhood built mostly in the postwar years.
Slauson Avenue, Culver Boulevard to Braddock Drive. Near the Culver City line, and at 25 mph, the lowest posted limit on this list.
West LA and the hills
National Boulevard, Butler Avenue to the 405. West LA, posted at 35, running past Webster Middle School. First wave.
Barrington Avenue, Ohio Avenue to Santa Monica Boulevard. West LA, posted at 30, a north-south connector lined largely with apartment buildings.
Olympic Boulevard, Greenfield to Purdue. West LA near the 405, posted at 35.
Mulholland Drive, Corda Drive to Calneva Drive. The hills above Brentwood, posted at 35, and the only ridge road in either district. It earned its spot with the same crash and speed data as the flats.
Mid-City West
Six of District 5's eight locations were in the first wave, which makes the Fairfax, Melrose and La Brea corridors the most immediately affected part of this list.
Melrose Avenue from Hayworth to Orange Grove, straddling Fairfax. Fairfax Avenue from Clinton to Waring, just north of Melrose. La Brea Avenue from 1st Street to Beverly, posted at 30. Olympic Boulevard from La Brea to Sycamore, and again from Alvira to Stearns. La Cienega Boulevard from Pico to Olympic. One more, La Cienega from 18th Street to Horner Street just south of Pico, is still to come.
How to tell whether a camera is live
Look for the signs. Every location gets posted speed limit signs noting that the limit is camera enforced. LADOT expects all 125 locations to be running by December 31, and each one issues warnings only for its first 60 days, so a camera that switches on in December will not start fining until February. LADOT's September district lists showed all sixteen Westside locations as under construction. The first wave went live October 26, and the rest follow through December. You can check any location's live status on LASpeedCam.com, which tracks LADOT's camera map.
The streets you expected and will not find
Lincoln Boulevard carries State Route 1 through the Westside, and AB 645 bars cameras on any California state route, so it was never in the running. Same for Pacific Coast Highway, which is why Malibu needed its own law. Plenty of other streets people complain about simply did not score high enough inside their district. I explain the scoring in why LA put the cameras where it did.
One footnote for the coast. When the Council approved the program in March, Councilmembers Traci Park and Heather Hutt added an amendment asking LADOT to study five more District 11 sites in case cameras are ever reassigned: Imperial Highway from Sepulveda to Vista Del Mar, Culver Boulevard from Lincoln to Nicholson, Jefferson Boulevard from Lincoln to Culver, Pershing Drive from Rees to Imperial, and the area around Canyon Elementary in Santa Monica Canyon. None of those has a camera today. All of them are on someone's list.
If you own on one of these streets
Expect the first change to be behavior at the camera, not prices. San Francisco reported a 79% drop in drivers going 10 or more over the limit at its camera locations after one year, and I walk through what other cities saw in this breakdown.
If you are selling, a camera on the block is a fact to understand before a buyer asks about it, and I have thoughts on whether it belongs in the listing. If you are buying, the camera list is one more public map worth checking, along with the others in this street checklist.
Sixteen locations across two districts is hardly a dragnet. Think of it as the city circling the streets its own crash data flagged, and daring drivers to prove the data wrong.
Locations, limits and launch status come from LADOT's published district lists and live camera map as of October 26, 2026, and may change as installation continues. This is not legal advice.
