Default Where are the Houston Intersection Cameras?

Anybody have any idea where the traffic cams are in Houston? I believe it is five locations. If you pass a redlight you get a ticket mailed to your house.

Its only five I think, setup with cameras like eazy tag violators or something, but with red lights. Not the traffic cams.

i saw it on the news the other night but for some reason fox was having problems every time they went to the news room. like during the commercial of family guy when they tried to talk about the news at 9 you couldn't hear anything but i was able to read about the cameras. i tried to watch the news at 9 to get info about them but the sound was still out and i didn't care that much.

I wonder how long those things will last, hope they're encased in steel or something.

Here is a pretty interesing read, it is a civil ticket and don't go on you record, and I bet that it won't last. Cause who was driving the car. There are so many loop holes in this type of ticket it aint funny. That is why photo radar is illegal, it is against your civil rights. A police officer has to give you the ticket. Well don't look for this to last long. The cameras are down town and midtown, they are just warning people now.

An update from FM94.5 earlier this week said those 5 original cameras are supposed to become 50 cameras.

Its not a big deal really. Don't run the red light .

Just for the record, I think the law is ridiculous. Its simply for revenue generation not law enforcement.

I dont run red lights for fun, just in case when there is an A-hole to close behind me and dont want them rearending me. Maybe the same dumbass people who dont know how to park in the lines, which is why I like to park alone to keep people from hitting my car with doors.
