Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — those two corridors alone account for nearly 44% of all speeding tickets issued in Long Beach. According to LBPD 2024 citation data, Pacific Coast Highway generated 413 speeding citations (24.8% of the city total), and Cherry Avenue generated 317 more (19%). Officers on PCH typically use radar or visual pacing in variable-speed zones; Cherry Avenue enforcement concentrates near Artesia Blvd, which also has an active red light camera. Both corridors are worth contesting — officers must accurately document their speed measurement method, and calibration records are frequently incomplete.

Yes. Long Beach operates automated cameras at five intersections: 7th Street & Redondo Ave, Bellflower Blvd & Willow St, Cherry Ave & Artesia Blvd, Wardlow Rd & Long Beach Blvd, and Anaheim St & Long Beach Blvd. Common defenses include: the photo does not clearly identify the driver, yellow light duration was below the California minimum for that posted speed, you were already committed to the intersection when the light changed, or camera certification records are incomplete. If the city fails to produce required documentation, the ticket is dismissed.

Far more than the number on your citation. California adds mandatory penalty assessments that multiply the base fine several times over: 1–15 mph over = roughly $238 total out of pocket; 16–25 mph over = roughly $367; 25+ mph over = roughly $490. A moving violation conviction also adds 1 DMV point for 36 months — enough to raise your insurance premium $288–$317 per year. Over three years, the true cost of a single Long Beach speeding ticket is often $1,000–$2,000+.

Long Beach traffic tickets are handled at the Governor George Deukmejian Courthouse, 275 Magnolia Ave, Long Beach, CA 90802 (Traffic Division, 2nd Floor, Room 2901). The court also offers Traffic Night Court on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:00 PM in Room 2700 — by appointment at (562) 256-2313. That said, California law allows you to contest any infraction entirely by mail through a written declaration. With TDismiss, you never need to visit the Deukmejian Courthouse.

Missing the due date — typically 21 days from the citation — triggers a Failure to Appear charge under VC 40508, adding $300+ to your balance. LA County Superior Court notifies the DMV, which places a hold on your license renewal. Your debt may be referred to a collection agency, and the Franchise Tax Board can intercept your state tax refund. If a bench warrant is issued, you will need a personal court appearance to clear it. Extensions are available before the deadline by calling (562) 256-2313 — but not after.
