Regulated parking: it is common for cities to have regulated parking spaces on the street with parking meters. You will be able to recognise the regulated zones by the coloured lines in the parking areas.Traffic restrictions: many destinations have bans or traffic restrictions for non-resident or polluting vehicles. These include numerous monument cities that have restricted motor vehicle access to their historic centres. Likewise, Madrid only allows access to its central area to Zero Emissions vehicles or residents. Occasionally and depending on the levels of pollution, Madrid and Barcelona limit the traffic inside the main ring road.Payment of tolls: Tolls may be paid in cash, by credit card or using electronic toll services (requires the installation of a device in the car).Please check our practical advice for driving in Spain.
