*** (Westbound) Bay Area Boulevard at El Camino Real
* * *
If you run a red light at the intersection of
Bay Area Boulevard and El Camino Real, there's a good chance you won't be getting a citation in the mail. The intersection is one of 10 where the city of Houston has installed cameras to catch motorists who run red lights. But the intersection only has one camera, and that camera is
only pointed in one direction.

The opinions of Clear Lake residents on red-light cameras are mixed. Adriane Wilson said she believes having them
at Bay Area and El Camino Real is unnecessary. "I've never ever seen an accident there," said Wilson, 28, a staffing agency recruiter, who has lived in the Clear Lake area for 10 years. "I think it's a little excessive."

Since the city's red-light camera program kicked off almost a week ago,
more vehicles have run the red light at the Bay Area Boulevard and El Camino Real intersection than any of the other nine sites that are monitored by camera, police said today. Houston Police Sgt. Michael Muench said more than 600 incidents have been caught on camera since the system began working Friday, but about 70 were dismissed after review by officers. Except for identifying the Bay Area-El Camino Real intersection as the most active, police did not break down the incidents by intersection.
