Benidorm low-emission zone (ZBE): rules, labels & fines
Benidorm's low emission zone ('ZBENIDORM') is regulated in Annex V of its Mobility Ordinance and controlled by access cameras. The municipal leaflet says only C, ECO and 0 vehicles enter without restriction, and that B and unlabelled vehicles are restricted, apart from residents and authorised vehicles. Press reports that in March 2026 the council extended by one year (possibly to March 2027) the moratorium letting unlabelled vehicles in, and that EUR 200 fines are issued for unauthorised access.

Notes: Official leaflet (Dec 2024) confirms the label rules and an initial informative phase without sanctions but gives no dates. Start dates differ in third-party material (1 January 2025 or 1 July 2025). The March 2026 change to Annex V was published in the BOP of Alicante (press); the BOP text was not opened. Press says the no-label moratorium 'could be in force until March 2027'. The Alicante Plaza fines article was seen only as a search result and its date is unknown; 'fines_issued' relies on it.
