mobility restrictions
As of January 1, 2023, all Spanish municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants are obliged to establish Low Emission Zones in which motorcycles over 20 years old and the most polluting vehicles may not enter.
The new one Climate Change and Energy Transition Law It is already underway and since January 1st the norm that obliges cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants to establish in their urban centers Low Emission Zones (LEZ) in which access to the most polluting vehicles is limited.
As you surely know, the polluting level of vehicles is classified according to certain environmental labels. In cities like Madrid and Barcelona there have been ZBEs for a long time and they take into account the environmental label of each vehicle to allow or not its circulation. And that now comes to a total of 149 Spanish municipalitieswhich are all those with a population of more than 50,000 inhabitants.
- no label: Euro 1, registered before 2003.
- B: Euro 2, registered from 2003.
- C: Euro 3, Euro 4 and Euro 5, registered from 2007.
- Zero emissions: Electric motorcycles and mopeds.
Each municipality of the 149 involved must establish their own limitations and regulations, but we start from the basis that if you don’t have a label, you won’t enter. And if you do, you will be fined with a penalty of 200 euros. The measure is already published in the BOE and we explain it to you in detail in this article on how motorcycles over 20 years old are prohibited in the center of cities.
These are the 149 municipalities affected by the new LEZs
Do you want to know if your city has to establish a LEZ? Here is the list of the 149 municipalities that are affected by the new ZBEbut note that the rule goes a step further: those municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants must also establish ZBE that have levels of contamination higher than those regulated
