Frequently Asked Questions

No. Santa Rosa's red light camera program has been discontinued, and the city is not part of California's AB 645 speed camera pilot program — that program is limited to six cities: Los Angeles, San Jose, Oakland, Glendale, Long Beach, and San Francisco. Santa Rosa PD currently relies on officer patrols and plans to add in-car radar and community speed signs, but no automated camera citations are being issued in the city.
Santa Rosa runs one of California's most active DUI enforcement programs — SRPD was named 2024 MADD Outstanding Agency of the Year for its efforts. Wine country location means high volumes of drivers coming from wineries, tasting rooms, and restaurants throughout Sonoma County. Checkpoints run regularly on major corridors: one at College Avenue & Morgan Street contacted 923 drivers in a single night. DUI citations are a separate criminal process from standard infraction tickets and cannot be handled by written declaration.
US-101 through Santa Rosa is enforced by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) Golden Gate Division, not Santa Rosa PD. SRPD patrols city surface streets — Mendocino Avenue, Cleveland Avenue, Stony Point Road, College Avenue, and local corridors. Check the top of your citation for the issuing agency name. Both CHP and SRPD citations for the Santa Rosa area are processed through Sonoma County Superior Court at 600 Administration Drive, Room 109J.
Santa Rosa parking citations are handled entirely separately from moving violations. You have 21 calendar days from the issue date to pay or contest. Options: online at pticket.com/santarosa, phone (888) 442-4088, mail to City of Santa Rosa Parking Citations P.O. Box 11113, San Jose CA 95103, or in person at City Hall Annex, 90 Santa Rosa Ave., Mon–Thu 9 AM–4 PM. Missing the 21-day window results in increased fines and potential DMV registration holds.
Yes. SRPD reported fatal collisions rose from 2 to 6 in 2024, with injury collisions up 19%. The department conducted over 23,000 traffic stops that year and is pursuing in-car radar and community speed signs through city and grant funding. The increase in fatalities has put additional pressure on enforcement along Santa Rosa's highest-risk corridors — drivers should expect more active patrolling on College Avenue, Mendocino Avenue, and Cleveland Avenue.
