HiHas anyone got information on the new restrictions for cars based on emissions in Torrevieja where are the boundaries how far into the town can one driveAre the restrictions in suburban areas my car is petrol 2.4 engine

Take it easy, nothing definite yet.

Hi, if your car is on Spanish plates you can check your emissions rating on the link below:https://sede.dgt.gob.es/es/vehiculos/distintivo-ambiental#Note, put the registration in without any spaces. You can (supposedly) buy the emission sticker at a post office if you take your registration document and your NIE number. Look on N332 website for more details, do a search on low emission zones.If your car is on UK plates then the following is from the RAC website:Spanish low emission zones – do I need a sticker?If you are planning on driving through Spain, then be aware of its new low emission zones. Spanish motoring authorities in Madrid and Barcelona require you to have an official sticker on the rear window of a vehicle indicating its emission levels.You have to register your vehicle to drive through the cities. The sticker is proof of registration and without one you may be pulled over by the transport police, who will check your details.However, obtaining one is far from a quick and simple process.You first need to register online, which can take up to 15 working days to be approved (zberegistre.ambmobilitat.cat). If you can’t wait that long, then you will need to call the ZBE helpline, which should be able to push it through immediately (0034 930 333 555, option 3 for an English-speaking operator).Following this, you will then have to apply for the sticker via the website of the Spanish government’s road-safety department, and delivery can take up to 12 days (pegatinas-dgt.com).Alternatively, you can buy one at a post office when you are in Spain.There are also low emission zones in Seville, Valencia, and Valladolid – however, they are weather-related air protection zone and are only activated when there is severe air pollution. You will need to check the local government websites prior to driving in those cities.In the years ahead, this will likely change, and other cities may add their own low emission zones.----------------------------------------------------Like the poster above I doubt that there will be anything clear in place for some time yet in Alicante region, but you never know. The emission sticker situation reminds me of how panicky everyone was getting about the new speed restrictions that came in last year - lots of posts on here about how restricittve they were, police stopping speeders, etc, etc. Got to Los Dolses and found absolutely no difference!

As I already said, just go to the post office and buy a sticker. Then you have no problem when they introduce the new law. 😊

Getting the sticker is not the problem here

The real problem is where we can go with the sticker especially on older cars

How far out of towns will have we to park up

will we be able to use the 332 which cuts across Torrevieja and many more large towns etc etc
