The Directorate General of Traffic (DGT) recalled the entry into force of the art Climate Change Act. Specifically, the part relating to the movement restrictions, which has already started the countdown. To reduce the environmental impact of vehicle pollution, all cities with more than 50,000 inhabitants will have to establish a low-emission zone.
Also included are island territories and municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants that exceed the permissible levels of contamination. In other words, Not all vehicles will be able to circulate in the areas they wish.
This will be determined by environmental labels and what will they be obligatory cross those areas that will drastically reduce traffic in favor of planetary health and green mobility that the European Commission requests. They are nothing new, given that for a couple of years it has already been a novelty to cross certain areas of Madrid or Barcelona.
Vehicles that can cross the restricted traffic area
And what are these environmental labels? Basically, it’s the DNI of that car’s emissions. Determine the level of contamination according to four types (ordered by intensity): 0 emissions, eco-label and C and B badges. So, by 2023 Only the first three will be able to circulate in restricted traffic areas. In Spain, 75% of vehicles still run on combustion. Even if those with label C will only be able to park and not circulate.
This is only zero emissions or ecological ones will have total freedom of movement. We are talking about hybrid cars, which represent 18.4% of the total number of vehicles; and electric cars, which account for 3.9% of the current total national park.

Vehicles carrying the B labelpetrol cars and light vans registered since January 2000 or January 2006 in the case of diesels, they will not be able to trample on the areas identified with the sign shown above, as specified in law 7/2021 of 20 May, on climate change and energy transition. Neither Park, unless there is an exception to live nearby. However, the municipalities themselves will establish the different levels of restriction depending on the contamination.
You will have to pay a toll
The text will allow the Municipalities to establish derogations through the payment of a urban toll be able to drive through the restricted traffic zone to vehicles with labels B and C. “This legal authorization allows municipalities who wish to introduce a tax for the circulation of vehicles that exceed the limits or maximum categories of free movement provided for in low-emission zones,” he says. law. It should also be noted that the fine for entering a restricted traffic area without being able to do so is 200 euros.
Where will it be necessary to carry an environmental label?
These are the cities that already have restricted traffic zones established or have already been communicated to DGT extension to do so in the vicinity and where it will be necessary, therefore, carry the mandatory environmental accreditation.
