By the next month of September, vehicles or combinations of vehicles with 4 or more axles (both of 26 gross tonnage or more) will be banned from driving on the N-240 and N-340 on sections comprising the provinces of Barcelona, ??Tarragona and Lleida.
Alternatively, carriers may use the AP-7 and AP-2 toll roads, benefiting from a 50% reduction in tolls.

Entry into force: as soon as the bonus decree is published.
