Fight Your Corona Traffic Ticket

No. The City of Corona does not operate red light cameras or automated speed cameras. The city's traffic safety program uses RADAR trailers and driver feedback devices deployed on residential streets in response to speeding complaints — not automated citation systems. If you received a photo citation with a Corona address, verify the issuing agency carefully: it may be from a neighboring city or a freeway camera operated by a different jurisdiction.

Freeway citations on CA-91 (Riverside Freeway) and I-15 through Corona are issued by the California Highway Patrol (CHP), not the Corona Police Department. CHP Riverside Area patrols both freeways and the heavily-enforced CA-91/I-15 interchange. Corona Police Department (CPD) handles city surface streets — Magnolia Avenue, Main Street, Ontario Avenue, and other local corridors. Check the top of your citation: the issuing agency determines which officer must respond if you contest by written declaration.

The Corona Police Department Traffic Bureau handles speeding complaints, traffic hazard reports, and enforcement-related questions for city streets. Contact them at (951) 736-2330, option 5, Monday–Thursday 8 AM–5 PM, or email [email protected]. When speeding complaints are received, CPD typically deploys a RADAR trailer or driver feedback device to the area and notifies the Traffic Enforcement Section to monitor the corridor.

Yes, completely separate. Parking citations in Corona must be paid or appealed within 21 days of issuance. Appeals are handled online at citationprocessingcenter.com or by phone at (800) 989-2058 — not through the Riverside County Superior Court. Moving violations (speeding, red light, stop sign, cell phone) follow the court process and can be contested by Trial by Written Declaration at the Corona Courthouse, 505 S. Buena Vista Ave., Room 201.

Yes. The CA-91/I-15 interchange in Corona is one of Southern California's busiest freeway junctions and sees consistent CHP enforcement year-round, particularly for speeding and unsafe lane changes. CA-91 east of the Orange County line carries heavy commuter and freight traffic between the Inland Empire and LA/Orange County. CHP Riverside Area runs targeted speed enforcement on this stretch, especially during peak commute hours and holiday weekends. The ongoing 71/91 interchange construction zone adjacent to Corona adds another layer of enforcement for construction zone speed violations.
