We are faced with a problem where inversion is not possible, because from the January 1, 2025all vehicles that do not have a DGT label will not be able to circulate on any street in Madrid, nor will those that are registered in the city.
Madrid Barajas Airport is in the capital, so we have to wonder if the ban will include routes to access the airport, whether you are coming from Madrid or other regions. This is what the city council tells us.
don’t forget
It is good to remember that Madrid ZBE It covers the entire city, where untagged vehicles that do not pay road tax in the capital will not be able to circulate.
Since January, those who are registered in Madrid at the time of registration will not be able to do so. include all types of vehicles.
Not only will travelers connected from another set of airports be able to access this airport, but residents of Madrid, as well as residents of other cities in Madrid and other communities, close or not, will be able to do so by car.
Will they fine you?
If you are wondering if you will be fined, please note that on the roads leading to the airport, you will not be fined. There are numerous highways and roads that will access the airport and the respective connections and connections:
M-11: connection with M-30, A-1 and M-607.
M-12 (Airport Axis): it connects with M-40 and A-1. There are sections that require payment.
M-13: which connects M-12 to terminals T1, T2 and T3.
M-14: connection of the M-40 and connection with the A-2.
All these highways will be managed by the government and owned by the state, so even though they are in the municipal area of Madridwill not be under the power of the Consistory, it is therefore not possible to impose a fine on them.
This was confirmed by the same municipal council. They will therefore not be included in the Madrid ZBE and will be freely accessible, regardless of the vehicle’s environmental label.

The M-40 is state-owned, the M-607 is independently owned. For this reason, if we have access from these roads, vehicles without labels will not be penalized. Or those nearby like M-21 or M-22. If the circle opens, they will be left behind the state-owned M-50 or the M-45 of autonomous ownership, in addition to the national roads that begin and end in Madrid, although there are sections in the municipal area (A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 , A-5 and A-6).
Without crossing the capital or the neighborhoods, but if you enter via the M11 directly from the M-30, you may be fined, since the ring road is the responsibility of the Town Hall and is within the ZBE from Madrid.
Likewise, if you access any of the roads indicated in any of the neighborhoods or districts of Madrid. We are talking about the M-40 from Vallecas, Carabanchel or Vicálvaro. To then connect with the M-14.
We can get to the airport with unmarked cars, but never from other districts or while crossing the capital on the M-30. This can only be done without a fine when driving on the highways we have mentioned.
Let’s not forget that you can travel freely on the A-42, except from its beginning in Madrid to kilometer six and vice versa. This section is one of the so-called urban sections, being under the responsibility of the Town Hall and access to and from the M-30 is controlled.
The ZBE fine in Madrid is the second most common
There are more than four hundred and sixty cameras and photo-red traffic lights. In Madrid, they electronically control access and bad traffic by reading the license plate. This system will be active since 2024 and offenders will be punished from July.
In the end, there are 464 cameras which have OCR readerof which 257 are in the interior area bounded by the M30 and the M-30 itself, and 207 are in the districts outside the M-30. The Town Hall map can be consulted at the location of all of these rooms.
We are talking about fifty-three photo-red lights that were responsible for controlling the Madrid ZBE before the cameras worked, but they will continue to work, just like the mobility agents.
