Badalona low-emission zone (ZBE): rules, labels & fines
Badalona has not enforced its low emission zone. Press coverage of a September 2026 report by the Catalan public audit office says the city imposed no ZBE fines in 2025 and that the council approved a moratorium on sanctions until 1 January 2027. The council's own ZBE page could not be read (HTTP 403), so the current legal text, boundary and rules are unconfirmed.

Notes: The municipal ZBE page (official_info_url) returned HTTP 403 and was not read. An undated press piece (bdn-naciodigital, seen only as a search result) reports that the council planned to suspend the existing ZBE ordinance and asked the AMB to redesign the zone and suspend sanctions until 2027; its year is not confirmed. Restrictions, boundary and exemptions are therefore not recorded. Whether sanctions will start on 1 January 2027 is not confirmed.
