"Spain is getting serious about cleaning up its air, and that’s the case in
cities across the country. Due to the Climate Change and Energy Transition Law,
most Spanish cities will be implementing low-emission zones within their
borders in 2023. Spanish municipalities with 50,000 residents or more have to
implement such zones. According to one Spanish news source, that’s nearly 150
Spanish municipalities.
In addition to those core cities, any city with more than 20,000 residents and
episodes of high pollution also has to implement low-emission zones.
The legal details of what all of these cities have to implement are quite
vague: “A low emission zone is understood as the area delimited by a Public
Administration, in the exercise of its powers, within its territory, on a
continuous basis, and in which restrictions on access, movement and parking of
vehicles are applied to improve the quality of the air and mitigate greenhouse
gas emissions, in accordance with the classification of vehicles by their level
of emissions in accordance with the provisions of the current General Vehicle
Regulations.”
So, basically, the cities have to restrict access, transportation routes, or
parking access in some way based on environmental classification labels (A, B,
C, ECO, and ZERO). Within those boundaries, city councils have the power to
decide what exact Low-Emission Zone will exist in their jurisdiction."
