What the source does and doesn't say
The DGT publishes no vehicle class for any Spanish zone. Across the whole national feed there is not one field for vehicle type, fuel, weight, height or length. So where a rule really applies only to heavier vehicles — Manlleu's applies from 12 tonnes, Valencia's only to cars, motorcycles and mopeds — that scope exists in the ayuntamiento's prose and nowhere in the data. If you drive a motorhome, a van over 3.5 t or anything unusual, treat the answer above as the general rule and check the scope locally.
Hours are published as local time. The feed labels the days only as laborables or festivos and never codes which days of the week those are, so we show the labels as published rather than inventing a Monday-to-Friday we can't evidence.
How the distintivo ambiental works
The badge is assigned by the DGT, not derived by you. The rules say a vehicle is classified “en el Registro de Vehículos” — in the DGT's own vehicle register, against your plate. We can tell you what the regulation says your vehicle should be, and we do, on our distintivo pages. But the authoritative answer is whatever DGT recorded, and you can look it up free against your registration number on the DGT site. That is a real difference from France, where the vignette follows a published date table anyone can read off.
We don't sell distintivos and never will. They are issued through Correos and authorised outlets, tied to the plate. Any site charging you a premium is a middleman.
The published boundary
This is ZBE Rondes de Barcelona's own geometry, not our tracing of it.
This is the polygon the DGT publishes for Rondes de Barcelona through the national access point — the ayuntamiento’s own boundary, passed through unchanged. Check the sign before you rely on being just outside it.
