Spanish cities have proposed to reduce the pollution of the air they breathe and for this reason the so-called “low emission zones” are created, as is the case of Madrid or Barcelona, which already have these areas. And that’s it, the new one
Climate Change Law of the Government of Spain set all that
cities and municipalities with a population of more than 50,000 inhabitantsor 20,000 residents for those with air quality problems
will have to have urban areas with traffic restrictions to the most polluting cars. A measure estimated at
will affect over 24 million cars in Spain and that it should be ready before 2022, so it should come into effect this year
At the moment there is little information on the table, although it is known that the councils of the different municipalities will be tasked with drawing up the list of restrictions that will come with the new Royal Decree and that this will affect access to , traffic and parking in the low-emission zones. Meanwhile, Pedro Sánchez’s government, as reported by Pyramid Consulting, is working on a “minimum protocol” to regulate what the
priority vehicles, that basically there would only be the all-electric or plug-in hybrids, those are the ones with the
Emission-free label of the Directorate General for Traffic (DGT).

the big ones
disadvantaged of this new measure of ‘Low Emission Zones’, will be the vehicles that have the so-called labels
C (green) and B (yellow), andespecially those who do not directly have the environmental label of the DGT.
According to Pyramid Consulting, the new law will also “a
hierarchy of the means of transport according to their priority of passage”, establishing an order of access. For example, the provisions of the measure would be that pedestrians come first, followed by bicycles, then public transport, vehicles with a high occupancy rate and shared mobility and, finally, motorized private cars that must comply with the aforementioned directives.
And, as in any law, will include:
sanctions for those who don’t comply. In fact, this new law will impose fines on all vehicles that bypass the established restrictions, such as the severe category sanction, already in effect in the new traffic law from last March, which
