HOUSTON -- Big brother could soon be watching as you drive on some Houston streets.

Survey: Improve Safety?
Survey: Good Idea?

Beginning Monday, red-light cameras will begin taking pictures of red-light runners. Violators will be sent a warning.

But after a 30-day trial period, people caught on camera running a red light will be sent a ticket ranging from $75 to $150.

The ticket will include a picture of your car before running the red light, going through the red light and a close-up of your license plate.

Red-light cameras have been installed at several city intersections, including:

Two other intersections, which the city has not released, will also have red-light cameras monitoring traffic.

The city hopes to install 10 more cameras by the end of the year.
