Frequently Asked Questions

Pasadena traffic citations go to Los Angeles County Superior Court — Pasadena Courthouse at 300 East Walnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91101. Phone: (626) 396-3300. Building hours: 7:30 AM–4:30 PM; Clerk's Office: 8:30 AM–4:30 PM, Monday–Friday. The court handles Traffic, Civil, Criminal, Family Law, and Small Claims.

Correct. The California Highway Patrol Altadena Area (2130 Windsor Ave., Altadena, CA 91001, (626) 296-8100) covers I-210 through Pasadena and surrounding unincorporated communities. Pasadena PD has no freeway jurisdiction. Both CHP Altadena and PPD citations route to the same Pasadena Courthouse at 300 E. Walnut Street.
No. Pasadena previously operated a red light camera program but discontinued it. Pasadena is included on California's list of 75+ cities that removed cameras or shut down automated enforcement programs. As of 2026, all moving violation enforcement in Pasadena is conducted by PPD motorcycle officers on city streets and CHP Altadena on freeways.
The Pasadena PD Traffic Section operates under the Criminal Investigations Division with a Lieutenant, a Sergeant, a Corporal, and nine motorcycle officers supported by one police support assistant. Officers ride Honda ST1300 Police motorcycles. Motorcycle candidates attend a 2-week Basic Motorcycle Academy with a high failure rate — more than half fail on the first attempt. These officers handle citations, collision investigation, and traffic safety programs throughout the city.
Yes. Colorado Boulevard — especially the Old Pasadena stretch between Fair Oaks Avenue and Pasadena Avenue — is PPD's most-cited surface arterial. The corridor is heavily patrolled year-round due to its role as the city's primary retail and entertainment district.
