The regional executive believes that the exceptional circumstances justifying the suspension of traffic restrictions have now passed. According to the Government of Catalonia, rail services have improved significantly since the incident on January 20.
During the crisis, restrictions were lifted to allow private vehicle use while train frequencies were reduced. Now, with reinforced bus services and restored train lines, the Government aims to return to a sustainable mobility model.
“"ZBEs are an instrument to guarantee air quality directly linked to health."
Each local council will now decide on the specific timeline and procedures to resume mandatory traffic limitations in their areas.
