PROVIDENCE -- Watch your foot, if you're driving in Providence.

The city's Police Department has started a new, red-light camera enforcement system at three intersections. The system will photograph cars and trucks that run red lights.

The police will eventually use the information, including a photograph of the vehicle's license plate, to send $75 citations to the offending drivers, but they're starting with a 30-day warning period.

The police plan to expand the program to intersections across the city.

The three intersections included in the initial phase are Raymond Street and Chalkstone Avenue, Oakland Avenue and Chalkstone, and Eaton Street and Huxley Avenue.
