Red Light Camera at Intersection of Katella Ave and Los Alamitos Blvd in Los Alamitos, CAThe Los Alamitos Police Department contracts with the private company Redflex Traffic Systems to operate a red light camera system at the Katella Ave and Los Alamitos Blvd intersection. There are two cameras located at the Katella Ave and Los Alamitos Blvd intersection, recording both westbound and eastbound traffic on Katella Ave. The speed limit at this intersection is 35 mph, which means the CA Vehicle Code and the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices requires that each yellow light must be at least a minimum of 3.6 seconds in duration for through traffic. For protected left hand turns, the light must be at least a minimum of 3.0 seconds.

The westbound camera captures approximately 200 incidents per month, from which an average of about 115 tickets are issued. The eastbound camera averages about 100 incidents, with about 55 tickets resulting. Overall, the city of Los Alamitos issues about 6,000 red light camera tickets per year.

UPDATE (2107) This intersection has been operational since a contract was signed with Redflex in July of 2005. A four year extension of the contract was signed in July of 2017, meaning the cameras at this intersection are likely to remain in place until at least 2021. The city pays $3,200 per approach, per month for the cameras, which equates nearly $120,000/year.
