Although the Glòries tunnel opened months ago, this weekend it begins full operation. However, there are still no plans to fine drivers in the coming months for any infraction they may commit.
For the time being, the Guardia Urbana will guide them in the proper use of this new road infrastructure with a high vehicular flow.
The tunnel is equipped with cameras to monitor and detect violations, but no penalties will be imposed for the time being.
What the Barcelona City Council did confirm is that the fines will start to become effective from next summer, i.e. from August 2022.
Pedagogical guidance for drivers who drive through the Glòries tunnel
For his part, Jordi Oliveras, spokesman for the Guardia Urbana, said that the objective for now, rather than sanctioning, is to guide drivers in a pedagogical way.
In addition, agents will reinforce surveillance and presence in the area. All with the purpose of educating to ensure compliance with the new regulations for transit on this road.
The agents will reinforce their presence in this area with a specific device to ensure compliance with the new road regulations.
The road system will be carried out at fixed points where the highest traffic flow is recorded, as well as mobile points that will rotate throughout the road environment.
The City Council will seek to ensure that priority is given to public transportation and that traffic conditions are reviewed to ensure safe transit.
