Environmental badge DGT sticker: where to get it, which one corresponds to my car, how to apply it...
Like every morning I take the car and head for the M-11, the road that connects Madrid's Adolfo Suárez Barajas Airport with Plaza de Castilla and the north entrance of Paseo de la Castellana.
Arriving almost at the Manoteras junction works, I notice a lighted portico in which it reminds me that:
"Cars with environmental label A, prohibited on the M-30 as of May 1
".
What is the DGT label A?
Label A? I think.
What is label A?
.
Since
the A label does not exist
, there is no official badge from the Directorate General of Traffic (
DGT
) for older
vehicles
.
The existing and mandatory labels to access low emission zones and restricted city centers are Zero Emissions, ECO, C and B.
Vehicles
without a DGT label,
which from the Traffic regulatory body are also considered vehicles with an environmental classification A, are those vehicles powered by
gasoline registered before 2000 and
diesel
vehicles registered before 2006.
They are also included here .
motorcycles prior to 2003. If you have any questions, in this
link of the DGT
, you can consult the environmental label of your vehicle, entering the license plate.
It must be borne in mind that
from May 1 in Madrid, the circulation of passenger cars without an environmental label from the DGT or with an A label
