Motorists will soon be ticketed by a camera for going through a red light at 10 intersections across the city, KPRC Local 2 reported.

Officials with the city of Houston said the locations were selected based on the number of crashes at the intersection and how many crashes running a red light caused.

Officials said American Traffic Solutions, the company that was awarded the contract to run and install the cameras, will have the first 10 cameras up by mid-July. The company will install cameras, in groups of 10, every 30 to 45 days.

Officials said a public awareness campaign designed to inform motorists of the cameras will last about 30 days, with no citations being issued for that time.

Drivers can expect to get a $75 fine for a first offense and up to $150 for a third.

The first batch of red light cameras will be installed at the following intersections:

  • Bay Area Boulevard at El Camino Real
  • Bellaire Boulevard at Fondren Road
  • Bellaire Boulevard at Wilcrest Drive
  • Bingle Road at Pinemont Drive
  • Elgin Street at Milam Street
  • Hillcroft Street at Harwin Drive
  • Hillcroft Street at Westpark Drive
  • John F. Kennedy Boulevard at Greens Road
  • Richmond Avenue at Dunvale Road
  • Travis Street at Webster Street
