About Us » Patrol Division » Traffic Unit

The City of Fremont uses automated red-light cameras to reduce red-light related accidents. Between the years 1995-1998, Fremont experienced a 31% increase in red-light related traffic accidents. In response to the increase, Fremont installed the first camera system in August of 2000. Fremont now has a total of ten intersections with 15 red-light camera approaches in operation. The cameras take a total of four photographs and a 12-second video of the violation.

Citation Information

Once a violation is confirmed, a Notice of Traffic Violation is mailed to the red-light offender or the registered owner. The left-hand side includes the driver's and/or the registered owner's information, date to appear in court, and the court's contact information. The right-hand side has four photographs of the red-light incident:

• The first photograph or video shows the vehicle at or behind the limit line when the light is red.
• The second photograph or video shows the vehicle through the intersection while the light is red.
• The third photograph shows the driver of the vehicle.
• The fourth photograph shows a close up of the license plate.

View a sample of the citation. In addition to the four photographs, there is a 12-second video captured of the violation. If desired, the driver or the registered owner can view video footage from any computer.  If you do not have a computer, you can make an appointment to view the video at the Police Department.

If you received a violation but are not the driver, you may identify the driver by completing the Identify New Driver section on page four of the citation, and return it in the envelope provided. Or you may complete the Identify New Driver Form here, and drop it off at the Fremont Police Department. The form must be submitted on or before the deadline noted on your citation.

The Fremont Police Department manages and controls the Red-light Camera Program. A Fremont Police Department designee reviews and approves each citation that is issued. All violators will receive a mandated fine of at least $490 set by the State Legislature with a copy of the four photographs. In addition to the State mandated fine, a convicted red-light violation will have the penalty of one point on your driving record. Our system currently captures straight-thru, left-turn, and right-turn red-light violations. If you have made a right-turn on a red-light and did not make a complete stop prior to the limit line, it is a red-light violation.

Access Your Citation Information

If you have received a red-light citation, you can log onto the PhotoNotice website to view your violation during the first 60 days after the violation occurred. If it is past 60 days from the violation, you can view your video with a representative from the Fremont Police Department by appointment only. Appointments are available on Thursdays from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. To schedule an appointment, please call (510) 790-6622.
