Why Palma's Environmental Cameras Unsettle Tourists and Part-Time Residents

Answer

Can tourists be fined for driving into Palma’s low-emission zone?

Yes, tourists can be fined if they enter Palma’s low-emission zone without the required environmental sticker or a valid registration. The cameras read number plates, and foreign-registered vehicles are a particular source of confusion because the system is mainly built around Spanish registrations. Fines have been reported at 200 euros, with a reduced amount possible for early payment.
