What are we doing for mobility in lockdown exit?
We are adapting public space and mobility to this new scenario in order to bring back daily life to the city.
Measures on citizen mobility to prevent the spread of Covid-19
Stay at home and avoid travelling. Metro and bus services are being adapted according to current passenger demand, and to changes in user patterns. Extra services are also being laid on during rush hours.
A city at 30 km/h
The new municipal decree means 68% of the city’s roads will have 30 km/h speed limits. The measure is already in place along C/ Creu Coberta and C/ Sants and will apply to the whole of the city’s secondary road network. The goal is to cut accident rates and the severity of injuries, as well as to make public space more pleasant.
Where can motorbikes be parked?
The ‘Pedestrian City’ campaign is being stepped up to further promote information on motorbike parking. The goal is to free up space on pavements, increasing safety for pedestrians and accessibility for people with reduced mobility, as well as people with pushchairs.

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.
