Overview
- Oviedo’s council definitively approved its Mobility and Traffic Ordinance, setting a first ZBE phase for January 1, 2026, with votes from PP, IU and an unaffiliated councillor, PSOE abstaining and Vox opposed.
- Ourense brought its ZBE into force on December 26 in a phase 1 that launched without signage or a dedicated information office, with a grace period until July 1 before camera-based sanctions begin.
- The Ourense plan foresees 28 fixed cameras for enforcement and wide exemptions for residents, garage users and certain authorized visitors, while local police handle the initial rollout.
- In Madrid, specialist firm Dvuelta estimates roughly €423 million in 2025 traffic-fine revenue, extrapolating from official January–July collections of €191.3 million that already exceeded 2024’s first-half take.
- An AEA report counted 265,115 fines and €52.2 million on the M‑30 between January and July, fueling criticism over confusing signage and dense camera networks as Oviedo’s debate featured sharp IU–Vox clashes.
