100-Euro Fine After the Ferry: Who Is to Blame?

Answer

Can you get fined for driving off a ferry into Barcelona without knowing about the low-emission zone?

Yes. A driver can still receive a fine even if they were unaware of Barcelona’s low-emission zone, because enforcement is automatic once a vehicle enters the restricted area. This is why ferry passengers from Mallorca can be caught out soon after leaving the port.
