Alcalá de Henares low-emission zone (ZBE): rules, labels & fines

Alcalá de Henares published a definitive technical document (December 2024) delimiting a 0.74 km² low emission zone in the historic centre. It contains a pedestrian Zone 0 and a Zone 1 where restrictions by DGT label apply only during NO2 pollution episodes, getting stricter as levels rise. No separate ZBE ordinance and no confirmation of current enforcement were found.

Notes: Based on the municipal technical document only. Its exemptions are worded as proposals. It sets a 2-year adaptation period from approval of the project, during which the Local Police control access during high pollution, then a camera system. The approval date and any ordinance giving this binding force were not found, so legal status is 'unknown'. Several exemption categories are proposals in the text.
