Obrim Carrers

OBRIM CARRERS IS BACK EVERY WEEKEND

We’re opening up Barcelona's streets for people to enjoy a city free of exhaust fumes, motorbikes, cars and noise! 

We’re fighting the climate crisis by cutting traffic in the city’s main streets, turning them into healthier and more welcoming places. 

Enjoy the city's streets every weekend!

There's a lot going on where cars don't enter

Bicycling or skating, playing, strolling... That's what we’ll be doing every weekend with Obrim Carrers. We’re transforming the city’s main streets into a space for people. Rediscover Barcelona's streets like you’ve never seen before!

  • Carrer de ciutat amb molta gent caminant entre arbres i edificis

    DO YOU RIDE A SCOOTER OR BICYCLE?

    At Obrim Carrers, pedestrians are the main protagonists!

    Bicycles and scooters can also use these streets, but their users must always respect the priority of people walking.

    In addition, they must never exceed the maximum speed of 10 km/h and should always use the vehicle responsibly to avoid any possible accident: if there are crowds of people, it is mandatory to get off the bicycle or scooter and continue on foot.

Questions and answers

Obrim Carrers to be held every Saturday and Sunday, at two different timetables depending on time of year:

  • October - April: from 9.00 AM to 8.00 PM
  • May - September: 10.00 AM to 9.00 PM (except July and August, when there is no Obrim Carrers).

The streets in question will be open to pedestrians but not vehicles during these timetables.

Public space is available to you for walking, excercising, playing, enjoying local commerce and more.

On some days, districts, residents’ groups and commercial associations also organise activities in these areas . Enjoy them!

To ensure people's safety, traffic will be restricted when Obrim Carrers is held. Only municipal-service and emergency vehicles, loading and unloading vehicles, vehicles belonging to the area's local residents on the way to their private parking, users of pay-as-you-go parking, taxis in emergency cases and vehicles used by people with reduced mobility will be allowed through these streets.

ATTENTION: Local residents will be able to circulate in their vehicles from the intersecting street nearest to their car park. In all cases, people should always follow the instructions issued by traffic assistants on hand in each street.

Bikes and scooters are free to circulate, but riders must give priority to people on foot.

These vehicles can circulate at a maximum speed of 10 km/h and must be used responsibly to avoid any possible accidents. If there are crowds, riders must get off their bikes or scooters and continue on foot.

Buses will have their usual routes diverted during the holding of Obrim Carrers. To view all the disruptions and changes of stops visit this link to TMB.
