Participative elaboration of a regulatory decree of a Low emissions Zone in Barcelona.
It has been launched the creation of a decree that expects a friendly and participatory objective with the environment within the city of Barcelona. This process will be elaborated by Barcelona citizens with the help of the city council of Barcelona. The primary objective seeks to protect the air of the city, in this way allowing a healthier and more suitable life for all.
Previously, cars that lacked a distinctive DGT could not circulate in case of pollution due to the extensive emissions of NO2 (nitrogen dioxide), but to this end, the new proposal seeks that since January 2020 the measures will be stricter and permanent in terms of regulating the circulation of polluting vehicles.
In this sense, due to this new ordinance restrict the movement of cars that cause more havoc in the environment, thus the schedule will work as follows since 7:00 to 20:00 hours on every working day, this decree will be applied and will be permanent.
