Madrid bans polluting vehicles from city centre

Just to be clear, anything that is not a hybrid or EV cannot drive through the centre unless going to a public parking garage. Licence plates are collected by the garages and cars entering the central area are monitored by cameras.

So, anything that is not hybrid/EV is actually effectively banned.

I don't know why you are being downvoted, but providing a source would be welcome, I guess.

Are you saying that it's OK for (certain) polluting vehicles to enter the zone to visit someone and park in a garage, but it's not OK for them to pass straight through the zone and out at the other end? That would be possible, but it sounds even more convoluted.

Correct. I can only find sources in spanish.

> Sí, se puede llegar al centro de la capital en vehículo privado. Los residentes tienen permiso para entrar y aparcar en su barrio. Los coches de los no residentes, siempre y cuando cuente con etiqueta ambiental, pueden entrar a Madrid Central. La clave es dónde aparca el vehículo: la medida prohíbe aparcar en superficie excepto a residentes o coches Eco o 0 emisiones. Los vehículos B y C podrán aparcar en cualquier parking de acceso público.

This, only talks about parking in the zone but not about the case where a class B or C vehicle wants to pass through the zone without stopping.

I live in this new Madrid Central zone - I promise that is truly the case.

Here's another article that makes it a little clearer - http://www.telemadrid.es/madrid-central/Madrid-Central-pregu...

No vivo en el centro. ¿Puedo circular?

Depende de varias circunstancias y del etiquetado de tu vehículo:

* Sí, aunque no seas residente, siempre que tu vehículo sea 0 emisiones o ECO.

* Si tu vehículo tiene la categoría C o B, sólo puedes acceder para estacionar en aparcamientos de rotación.

* Si tienes movilidad reducida, también puedes acceder, independientemente de la etiqueta.
