Following a major three-year renovation, the street now prioritizes public transport and pedestrians. Residents of the Gòtic, Barceloneta, and Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhoods have five weeks to register for the necessary permits to access the uphill lane.

The restriction specifically targets the ascending lane from the seafront toward Urquinaona square. Downhill traffic remains open to private cars at a speed limit of 30 km/h, but the uphill route is strictly reserved for buses, taxis, and authorized local residents or hotel guests.

Logistics and delivery vehicles will have limited access to Antoni Maura square during specific morning and afternoon windows. Authorities have launched an information campaign to guide citizens through the registration process via the municipal website or the 010 helpline.
