As of 7 March, signalling works will begin for the implementation of a new regulated parking zone in the La Prosperitat neighbourhood of the Nou Barris District. These actions will give rise to the new AREA residents' zone known as Zone 32.

New Zone 32

This action will regulate parking on the road between the limits formed by Via Júlia, Via Favència, Avda. Meridiana and Passeig de Valldaura, so that residents will have priority when it comes to parking and will form part of the new Zone 32.

The spaces to be regulated with this extension are 750 new Green spaces and are identified with green paint. This means that, with the aim of prioritising residents' parking, non-resident vehicles in Zone 32 will only be able to park for a maximum of two hours within the regulation timetable indicated on the corresponding vertical sign and at the Green zone rate that corresponds to the vehicle's environmental label.

In addition, it is planned to create 495 new Motorbike parking spaces and 140 new DUM parking spaces.

Information for residents

All residents of this new zone who own a vehicle registered to their home address will be able to park in the green spaces in Zone 32, which will be identified on the vertical sign corresponding to the Resident Tariff that corresponds 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. During the first fortnight of March they will receive a letter at their home address informing them of their resident zone and an information leaflet on the use of parking as a resident.

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

Obtaining tickets

To obtain resident parking tickets, users are recommended to use the free ONaparcar residents mobile application. With this application 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 a 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:

- 21/02- 28/02: Vertical pre-signalling in the street indicating the dates on which parking will not be allowed in order to carry out signalling works in each street.
- 01/03 - 20/03: Horizontal signalling work (painting of the new parking spaces in the street), vertical signalling (installation of the vertical regulation signs) and installation of parking meters, according to the dates established for each street.
- 01/03 - 15/03: Mailing of information letters to residents included in the new Zone 32.
- 21/03/2022: Activation of the new Zone 32 spaces.
