SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Heads up, drivers! If you're caught going above the speed limit in San Francisco, it's going to cost you beginning Tuesday, August 5.
The city's safety camera program launched on March 20. Since June, after the last camera was installed, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Authority has started issuing warnings to drivers as part of a two-month grace period.

As of Tuesday, drivers will be fined anywhere between $50 and $500, depending on their speed and even income, according to the SFMTA.
San Francisco is the first city in California to implement this technology. There are 56 speed cameras in 33 locations.
How much will you be fined?
- $50 for driving 11-15 mph over the speed limit
- $100 for driving 16-25 mph over the speed limit
- $200 for driving 26+ mph over the speed limit
- $500 for driving 100 mph or more over the speed limit
The fines were set by California Assembly Bill 645.

"The idea behind this isn't to collect money from people or to punish them with tickets. It's to ask people to change their behaviors," said Viktoriya Wise, streets director for SFMTA, to ABC7's Luz Pena in May.
SFMTA will gain revenue from the cameras as it faces a $320 million budget deficit for 2026-2027 fiscal year.

SFMTA says they're taking extra precautions on some of the most problematic intersections to try and make them even safer after deadly pedestrian accidents in San Francisco over the years.
"These cameras will save lives, so there is a feeling of relief actually from folks who have lost their loved ones," said Marta Lindsey, with Walk SF.
The speed camera pilot program is set to end in March 2030.
If you would like to protest your speeding ticket, SFMTA suggest not paying it but says you must submit your claim within 30 days of the "Issue Date" found on your speeding ticket. To file a claim head to this link.
