In response to neighbors’ concerns, the Sacramento Police Department and Parking Enforcement will write citations in the neighborhood as part of the Mercy Hospital Neighborhood Traffic Management Program (Traffic Calming Committee).

Police and parking enforcement officers will enforce traffic laws in support of the plan.

They will be looking for:

Speeding ($214 to $328)

Running stop signs ($214) and signals ($436)

Driving using cell phone, not hands free (1st offense-$148, subsequent offense – $256)

Amounts listed are total bail amounts due for a traffic fine. This does not include any additional assessments for prior violations.

For more information go to the city fine break down page.
