Both for those who are planning a road trip and for transporters who spend their work day touring Spain, knowing the restrictions of the General Directorate of Traffic It is something essential. Not only to comply with the measures of road safetybut to calculate the travel time and the routes that can be traveled. For this reason, the DGT has created an interactive map on its website to be aware of the situation in the national and regional roads and highways of each region.
These restrictions go beyond the Low Emission Zones established in 50 large cities in Spain, such as Madrid or Barcelona, where it will not be possible to circulate with vehicles with environmental classification A. It is expected that by 2028, those vehicles that have the yellow B label will not be able to enter certain urban centers. All this with the objective of reducing the emission of polluting gases according to the Auto Plan 2030.
However, the new limitations on drivers published in the Official State Gazette by the DGT have to do with specific restrictions for the circulation of vehicles in certain sections and on fixed dates. This is because, in the coming months, different events, sports events and even astronomical phenomena have been set on the calendar. Some measures that are added to those published in January, where the DGT limited the use of high occupancy lanes (HOV) to those vehicles in which two or more people travel, even those with 0 Emissions labellosing the access privileges they had at first.
