As of 25 October, signposting works will begin for the implementation of a new regulated parking zone in the neighbourhoods of Vallcarca and Els Penitents, el Coll and la Salut in the District of Gràcia. These actions will give rise to the new AREA residents' zone known as Zone 30.

New Zone 30

With this action, parking will be regulated on the road between the limits of avda. República Argentina, pl. d'Alfons Comín, c. de Collserola, c. d'August Font, ctra. de les Aigües, c. de Garriguella, ctra. de Sant Cugat, c. de Canan, c. del General Mendoza, c. de Cardedeu, c. de Castellterçol, ps. de la Mare de Déu del Coll, c. del Santuari, pl. Grau Miró, c. del Portell, camí de Can Móra, ctra. del Carmel, c. Ramiro de Maeztu, pl. Sanllehy and Travessera de Dalt, so that residents will have priority when parking and will form part of the new Zone 30.

The parking spaces regulated by this zone are 858 Green spaces and are identified with green paint. This means that, with the aim of prioritising residents' parking, non-resident vehicles in Zone 30 will only be able to park for a maximum of two hours within the regulation hours indicated by the corresponding vertical sign and at the corresponding Green area rate according to the vehicle's environmental label.

In addition, there will be 400 Motorbike parking spaces and 10 DUM parking spaces.

Information for residents - Residents who will be entitled to resident parking rights for the first time:

• Vallcarca i Els Penitents: Neighbours of the new Zone 30 who live above Passeig de la Vall d'Hebron.
• El Coll: Residents of the new Zone 30 who live from c. del Baró de la Barre, in the Llobregat direction.
• La Salut: Residents living around the boundaries of Park Güell and the carretera del Carmel and carrer de Ramiro de Maeztu.

In this case, all residents of this expansion who have a vehicle registered at their home address will be able to park in the Zone 30 green spaces identified on the corresponding vertical sign, at the Resident rate corresponding to the environmental label of their vehicle.

Thus, residents registered in the zone who own a car registered in Barcelona will not need to make any arrangements. Between the second and third week of November, they will receive a letter informing them of their resident zone and an information leaflet on the use of parking as a resident.

For new residents registered within the limits of this extension and who are entitled to park in the AREA at the resident rate, they can apply for their resident parking rights at the Barcelona City Council Virtual Office, by calling 010 or by making an appointment at the B:SM Citizen Service Points.

Information for residents - Residents who were registered in Zone 16 and who are moving to the new Zone 30:

• Vallcarca i Els Penitents and la Salut: Residents of the streets included between the limits of avda. de la República Argentina, pl. Alfonso Comín, Ronda de Dalt, avda. de Vallcarca, c. del Baró de la Barre, pg. de la Mare de Déu del Coll, ptge. de la Llum, avda. del Coll, avda. del Santuari de Sant Josep de la Muntanya, c. d'Olot, avda. de Pompeu Fabra, pl. Sanllehy and Travessera de Dalt.

In this case, all residents of this area who have a vehicle registered at their home already have the possibility of parking in the green spaces of Zone 16 and, from 29 November 2021, they will be assigned to the new Zone 30.

These residents will not need to make any type of arrangement or modification, since with the AREA resident parking rights they currently have, they will be able to continue to obtain parking tickets under the same conditions as before. And, if they have resident parking tickets for Zone 16, from 29 November 2021, they will be automatically transferred to Zone 30.

In addition, between the second and third week of November they will receive a letter at their home address informing them of the change of their resident zone and an information leaflet on the use of resident parking.

Obtaining tickets

To obtain resident on-street parking tickets, it is recommended that users use the free ONaparcar residents mobile application. With this app it is possible to obtain tickets from one day until the end of the year at the latest. As it is a digital ticket, it can be checked securely and in real time by the parking attendant's device and, therefore, it is not necessary to use the parking meter or place a paper ticket in the vehicle. However, if necessary, a receipt can be printed out for the payment made.

Implementation schedule

The planned implementation schedule is as follows:
• 10/25- 11/01: Vertical pre-marking in the street indicating the dates on which parking will not be allowed in order to carry out marking works in each street.
• 11/01 - 11/28: Horizontal signage work (painting of the new parking spaces in the street), vertical signage (installation of the vertical regulation signs) and installation of parking meters, according to the dates established for each street.
• 11/08 - 11/21: Mailing of information letters to residents included in the new Zone 30.
•​​​​​​​ 11/29/2021: Activation of the new Zone 30 spaces.
