Drivers blowing through red lights at 10 intersections in Sunrise after April 10 will risk a $158 fine if they are caught on camera.

The fines begin April 11, Police Lt. Brian Gerity said.

Under Florida law, cities with red-light cameras are required to notify the public at least 30 days before they begin fining drivers.

The intersections are:

• Northbound on University Drive at Northwest 25th Court; 
• westbound on Oakland Park Boulevard at University Drive; 
• northbound on Flamingo Road at Oakland Park Boulevard; 
• southbound on Flamingo Road at Northwest 136th Avenue; 
• northbound on Flamingo Road at Blue Dolphin Boulevard; 
• southbound on Flamingo Road at Sunrise Boulevard; 
• northbound on Nob Hill Road at Sunset Strip; 
• northbound on Nob Hill Road at Oakland Park Boulevard; 
• southbound on University Drive at Oakland Park Boulevard; and 
• eastbound on Sunrise Boulevard at Sunset Strip.

Critics say the cameras are a money grab by the cities. Advocates say they make the streets safer by preventing accidents.

Sunrise will collect $75 for each violation and share the rest of the $158 fine with the state. If the fine is not paid within 30 days, it turns into a $277 traffic citation
