Low-Emission Zone – San Sebastian
Pursuant to EU guidelines and in compliance with Law 7/2021 of 20 May stipulating that all locations with populations exceeding 50,000 must establish a low-emission zone, the city of Donostia / San Sebastián has now set the conditions for access to the Low-Emission Zone (LEZ) or “Isuri Gutxiko Eremua (IGE)” in Basque.
The LEZ is composed exclusively of the city centre: the area highlighted in green on the map.
All vehicles that meet environmental requirements can access the LEZ. Control is carried out by cameras that read the license plate, so there’s no need to carry the sticker on the car. You can check whether the vehicle meets the requisites here.
