The Low emissions zone in Barcelona
The Low Emission Zone (LEZ, ZBE in the local languages) comes into force on 1 January 2020 Find out about this atmosphere-protected area which includes all the city between the ring roads and fosters a more sustainable form of mobility for a healthier city.
Watch where you go on your electric scooter
An electric scooter is not a toy. You need to abide by the rules for these types of vehicle, as well as the city's general traffic regulations. Remember that scooters, electric unicycles, electric hoverboards and the like are not allowed to ride along pavements.
Get about safely on your motorbike wherever you go
Motorbikes account for 25% of journeys made by private vehicles in Barcelona and 7% of overall mobility in the city. They make up a particularly vulnerable group, alongside pedestrians, given their high accident rates. We are working to improve their safety through a variety of initiatives.
Over 200 kilometres of cyclable networks
Since the beginning of 2018, 22 new cycle lanes have been opened and 13 more are expected to be open in the next few months. The new lanes are designed to consolidate the use of bikes as a safe, sustainable means of transport.
