Whether fines are actually being issued is unconfirmed: in 2025 press said sanctions awaited the Generalitat's technology platform, and press in September 2026 cites a Sindicatura de Comptes report saying Mollet had imposed no ZBE fines (period up to 31 March 2026).Butlletí Oficial de …3CatMotor16

Notes: Ordinance text published in the BOP on 10 May 2024 after initial approval on 18 December 2023 with no objections; it enters into force 15 working days after publication. Municipal news (via sostenible.cat) says the ZBE operates permanently from 1 January 2025 (previously only on NO2 episode days). Enforcement is unclear: press in 2025 reported cameras and signs installed but sanctions pending the Generalitat platform, and press in September 2026 cites a Sindicatura de Comptes report that Mollet imposed no fines. Press (Feb 2026) lists Mollet among ZBEs temporarily suspended during the Rodalies crisis; no municipal decree or reactivation notice found. The municipal website (molletvalles.cat) returned HTTP 403 and could not be checked.
