AMET chief Jose Anibal Sanz Jiminian says that his agents have issued more than 60,000 tickets to drivers accused of running red lights between March and 15 November of this year. Sanz Jiminian said that the announcement is part of a media campaign to let drivers know that the AMET agents will be especially vigilant at intersections with traffic lights.
