Frequently Asked Questions

No. Stockton shut down its red light camera program around 2015 and terminated its vendor contract after studies showed the cameras were not reducing accidents at monitored intersections. All cameras at the former 10+ enforced intersections — including March Lane, Hammer Lane, Charter Way, and Airport Way — have been deactivated. Any red light ticket you receive in Stockton today is issued by a live officer, not a camera. If you received a mailed notice with a photo, confirm whether it is a real filed Notice to Appear before taking any action.

Possibly. I-5 through the Stockton corridor near March Lane has active lane closures and construction work scheduled through November 2026. Under California law, fines for speeding in a posted construction zone with workers present are doubled. If orange construction zone signs were posted at your location when you were cited, your base fine may be calculated at twice the standard rate — meaning a 1–15 mph over violation that normally totals ~$238 could approach $490. Your written declaration should address whether posted construction zone signage was visible and whether workers were actually present at the time.

Yes. CHP citations on I-5 and CA-99 go to the same San Joaquin County Superior Court at 180 E. Weber Ave., 2nd Floor, Stockton. CHP officers patrol both corridors actively — I-5 and CA-99 run parallel through Stockton before diverging, making the interchange a high-enforcement zone for both speed and commercial vehicle violations. Trial by Written Declaration lets you contest entirely by mail. CHP officers must file a written response within 30 days; if they do not, the ticket is automatically dismissed.

The main traffic court is San Joaquin County Superior Court, 180 E. Weber Ave., 2nd Floor, Suite 203, Stockton, CA 95202; phone (209) 992-5692; hours Monday–Friday 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Citations issued in the Lodi area route to the Lodi Branch (315 W. Elm St., Lodi). Citations from the Manteca area route to the Manteca Branch (315 E. Center St., Manteca). Your citation lists which court has your case. With TDismiss, your written declaration is filed by mail to the correct location — you never visit any of them.

Much more than the base fine. California multiplies base fines roughly five to six times through mandatory penalty assessments, state surcharges, county fees, and court charges: 1–15 mph over = roughly $238 total; 16–25 mph over = roughly $360–$490; 25+ mph over = $490+. CHP citations on I-5 or CA-99 often involve higher speeds, pushing totals into the $490–$850 range. A moving violation also adds 1 DMV point for 36 months — enough to raise your insurance premium 20–40% at each renewal. Contesting and winning avoids both the fine and the point entirely.
