  "account": "Two new traffic cameras have been installed in Los Montesinos at Avenida del Mar to catch motorists running red lights. The Policia Local de Los Montesinos announced the installation as part of efforts to enhance road safety and enforce compliance at the junction. The cameras automatically detect vehicles crossing when the light is red, identifying offenses without the need for human officers. Under Spanish law, running a red light is a serious offense punishable by a €200 fine and a loss of four points from a driver's license. With motorists now aware that compliance with traffic signals is being monitored, the cameras aim to discourage risky behavior and ensure safe passage for both motorists and pedestrians. Local Police emphasized the importance of adhering to traffic signals, especially at junctions where pedestrians may be crossing. The installation of the two cameras is part of the municipality's broader initiative to reduce accidents and improve road safety in Los Montesinos.",
