New civic byelaw
For a more civic Barcelona, we have updated the sanctions and introduced new prohibited behaviours.
31st Barcelona Road Safety Forum
The 31st Barcelona Road Safety Forum aims to reflect on the power of messaging in building a safe road culture. We will explore how communication can educate, prevent and provide support—from preventive advertising campaigns to post-crash response—engaging both public administrations and citizens.
The City Police reaches its historical maximum
The City Police currently has 3,500 officers, the highest number ever. Women account for 19% of the corps, also the highest percentage to date.
Starting February 1st, new updates to the Byelaw on Pedestrian and Vehicle Traffic
New updates to the Byelaw on Pedestrian and Vehicle Traffic which seek to prioritise pedestrians and regulate personal mobility vehicles (PMVs) and their use around the city.
