Catalan Police Checkpoint Targets Andorran Cars with Unpaid Fines

Catalan police from the Mossos d'Esquadra are conducting a vehicle checkpoint at the Adrall roundabout on the N-260, just before La Seu d'Urgell, to identify Andorran-registered cars with unpaid fines issued in Catalonia.

The operation targets drivers owing traffic penalties accumulated on Catalan roads. Such controls take place regularly along key border routes, but authorities have stepped them up amid heavier winter traffic volumes. This coincides with increased numbers of Andorran-plated vehicles and those from other countries passing through the area, particularly as ski season draws more cross-border movement.

Local reports noted the activity earlier today, highlighting its focus on enforcing outstanding fines. Mossos have not released details on the number of vehicles stopped or fines collected so far. These periodic checks help recover revenues from penalties that Andorran residents and visitors sometimes overlook after returning home.

The N-260 serves as a primary route linking Andorra with Catalonia, making spots like Adrall ideal for such enforcement amid peak travel periods. Drivers are advised to settle any pending fines to avoid delays at the border.
