Sometimes being the first is not a good thing but for Santa Maria, they became the first city within Santa Barbara county to launch automated enforcement. Located at the intersection of Miller Street and Betteravia Road, drivers caught on camera can look forward to a whooping $396 fine in the mail.
The automated enforcement unit combines both video and photographic data which is transmitted electronically to the unit's manufacturer, Nester Traffic Systems. Their offices are located in Rhode Island. After "processing," the information is emailed to the Santa Maria police. An officer then reviews the evidence to determine if a citation should be issued.
Santa Maria has the largest fine for a red light camera ticket.
