Low-emission zone deployment

The low-emission zone of the metropolitan area of Barcelona (ZBE Rondes de Barcelona) is a measure aimed at restricting the circulation of the most polluting vehicles in efforts to protect air quality, reduce the high levels of air pollution and ensure the right to health as part of a healthier city.

The ZBE Rondes de Barcelona, which encompasses the municipalities of Barcelona, Sant Adrià de Besòs, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat and part of Esplugues and Cornellà de Llobregat, is an area in which the circulation of polluting vehicles is restricted to protect air quality and reduce the high levels of air pollution.

Co-financed by the ERDF, this project will include studies and the technical design of the ZBE, deployment of ZBE signs, the installation of measures for managing and controlling traffic restrictions on the Barcelona ring roads and a technological platform for managing the ZBE, in addition to information and awareness-raising campaigns targeting the general public.
