Overview
- Since November 30, Málaga has been issuing €200 fines to vehicles registered outside the city that enter the ZBE without an environmental sticker.
- The municipal mobility office says foreign plates are captured by cameras but sanctions cannot proceed because the system lacks environmental classification data for those vehicles.
- The DGT calls that claim “categorically false” and cites European information-sharing systems used to identify and pursue foreign-plate traffic offenses.
- Málaga’s ZBE covers about 404.3 hectares and is monitored by 97 cameras, creating a practical disparity as thousands of foreign-registered cars may circulate daily without penalties.
- Vigo has given final project approval for four ZBE areas and targets a 2026 start pending ordinance validation, following roughly 40 objections and with a planned adaptation period.
