Travis Street getting red light cameras (updated)

This KPRC-2 story lists three of the intersections getting red light cameras:

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

* Travis Street at McGowen Street
* Milam Street at McGowen Street
* San Jacinto Street at Travis Street

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

All that Travis guessing seems to have been right on the mark.

Watch your rear, beginning Monday!

UPDATE: Oooookay. This KTRK-13 story says these intersections are getting cameras:

The red light camera locations are at Travis at McGowen, Milam and McGowen, Milam and Jefferson and San Jacincto and Texas.

I wondered about San Jacinto at Travis in the KPRC story, since Mapquest shows those two streets running parallel to each other. And Milam at Jefferson is the fourth one to be named (or found out). Now we are waiting to find out what intersection number five is!

UPDATE 2: Now all we need is some intrepid local reporter to document the yellow-light times at these intersections, first to make sure the yellow-light time is really sufficient for stopping, and second to make sure there are no yellow-light time shenanigans going on, as time progresses. That's one problem that has been documented in other cities -- yellow-light times are shortened to increase ticket revenue.
