Notes: The municipal note of 1 Jan 2025 says the ZBE is active in all respects including sanctions, with control first by Local Police (informing drivers) and up to 18 plate-reading cameras. Whether fines are actually being issued was not confirmed (a third-party site claims cameras were not yet working in early 2026). The ordinance PDF on the council site still carries the initial-approval header (Pleno 23 Oct 2023); the BOP publication of the final text was not located.
