Torrox installs eight new AI traffic cameras

Torrox has activated eight new artificial intelligence-powered traffic surveillance cameras as part of an €18,000 project to enhance road safety and traffic management. The system, which replaces a single existing camera, is designed to reduce speeding and improve traffic flow through strategic placement across the town.

The technology includes automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and AI capabilities to analyze surrounding traffic conditions. Local police will manage the network, with footage made available to the Guardia Civil and municipal officers for criminal investigations. Officials noted that the visible presence of the cameras is intended to act as a deterrent to traffic violations. This installation is part of a broader modernization program that may eventually include smart traffic lights and automated pedestrian crossings.
