Sabiñánigo authorizes two traffic cameras on Ciudad de Billère Street

The City Council of Sabiñánigo has authorized the installation and use of two video cameras for the surveillance, control, and discipline of traffic on Ciudad de Billère Street. The decision was adopted by the Mayor’s Office through Decree 2593/2026, dated November 4, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca number 215, corresponding to Tuesday, November 10, 2026 (official reference BOPH-2026-215011).

Two cameras next to the heated pool

Both devices will be located on Ciudad de Billère Street, next to the heated pool building, and will cover the following areas:

• Camera focused in the descending direction: it will capture images of Ciudad de Billère Street, Pedro Sesé Street, Constitution Square, the roadway, and sidewalks.
• Camera focused in the ascending direction: it will capture images of Ciudad de Billère Street, Torla Street, Caldearenas Street, the roadway, and sidewalks.

The decree is based on the proposal report from the Local Police Department dated October 30, 2026, which details the legal grounds for the installation, the generic identification of the affected roads or sections, the measures for preserving the recordings, and the body responsible for their custody. The resolution is issued under Article 21 of the Local Government Base Law and Article 30 of Law 7/1999 on Local Administration of Aragon.

Recordings destroyed in one month and police custody

Decree 2593/2026 establishes three conditions for the use of the images:

• Automatic destruction of the recordings within a maximum period of one month from their capture, unless they are related to criminal offenses or serious or very serious administrative offenses regarding public safety, an ongoing police investigation, or an open judicial or administrative proceeding.
• Custody and resolution of requests for access and cancellation handled by authorized personnel of the Sabiñánigo Local Police Force, ensuring the availability, confidentiality, and integrity of the records.
• Placement of an information plaque at each location, in accordance with Article 22 of the reference regulation, and publication in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca and on the municipal notice board regarding the existence of the cameras, their locations, and the measures applied.

Public information regarding the fixed installations is the responsibility of the legal representative of the Sabiñánigo City Council, as stated in the decree itself, which invokes public interest and road safety as justification for the measure.

A stream of authorizations since September

This Tuesday’s publication adds to a previous authorization from the same city council. Decree 2190/2026, dated September 16, 2026, authorized a video camera in Molino Square, next to the “Molino Periel” municipal building, covering Molino Square, Ordesa Street, the roadway, and the sidewalks; that agreement was published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Huesca number 213, dated November 6, 2026 (BOPH-2026-213040).

In both cases, the procedure is identical: a prior report from the Local Police, a resolution from the Mayor’s Office-Presidency, a maximum retention period of one month, and publication in the provincial gazette and on the municipal notice board. The signature of the now-published decree belongs to the Mayor-President, Berta Fernández Pueyo, and the document is dated in Sabiñánigo on November 9, 2026.

Appeals against a final decision

The decree exhausts the administrative route. Interested parties may file an optional appeal for reversal before the Mayor’s Office within one month from the day following notification, in accordance with articles 123 and 124 of Law 39/2015, or a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Huesca (plaza número 1) within two months, according to article 46 of Law 29/1998. If the appeal for reversal is chosen, the judicial route cannot be pursued until it is expressly resolved or a dismissal occurs by silence.

The measure directly affects the residents of the center area of Sabiñánigo: the cameras cover two entire streets and two squares, and the images may support traffic reports, while simultaneously opening the debate on the scope of video surveillance in public spaces and the protection of personal data.
