If you get caught on camera, tickets will be mailed to the car's registered owner in three days. The moving violations will affect driving records and insurance rates.

The state had extended the warning period that was supposed to originally end on Dec. 22.

The cameras have already caught thousands of traffic violators.

Traffic cameras have also been set up on 10 intersections to catch red-light runners. The state said it hopes to have them functioning soon.
