Judge reinstates Madrid's low emissions zone

New rightwing council fails to reverse policy of former mayor Manuela Carmena

Barely a week after Madrid's rightwing council began rolling back the city's low emissions zone, a judge has ruled that the traffic restrictions must be maintained.

As of Monday, drivers of non-exempt vehicles will once again be fined a90 if they enter the 1.8 sq mile zone in the centre of the Spanish capital.
