2 schemes in 2 cities. Every figure comes from an official source and is re-checked.
Andorra has 2 driving restrictions that we have checked against an official source, in 2 cities. All are limited traffic zones.
This page lists no country-wide requirement for Andorra. Anything owed before you reach a city is not covered here, so check the national road authority before you leave.
The sources for this country were read on 2026-09-17, from the authorities' own pages. Each check is repeated on a schedule, and a rule we can no longer confirm comes down instead of staying up.

The commercial spine of Andorra's capital is closed to vehicles outright, and the rule is as short as rules get: in the stretch of the avinguda Meritxell between the carrer de la Unió/carrer del Valira and the carrer Bonaventura Armengol/avinguda del Consell d'Europa — plus the carrers Babot Camp, de la Borda, Prat Primer, Sant Salvador and the stretch of carrer Bonaventura Riberaygua as far as the carrer Verge del Pilar — driving and parking are prohibited, permanently, for every type of vehicle.
There is no charge, no emission class and no hour at which the street reopens to traffic. The ordinance defines 'vehicle' broadly enough that the ban catches things a driver might not think of as one: every one-, two-, three- and four-wheeled vehicle, motorised or not, and explicitly bicycles, skates, skateboards and anything analogous.
Three categories are exempt outright, and they are statuses rather than payments — single-seat wheeled vehicles specifically adapted for people with reduced mobility, the fire service, police and ambulances on duty, and the Comú's own service vehicles.
Four more categories may enter, but only on restricted hours and dwell time and only with the Comú's authorisation: drivers of parking spaces inside the zone in buildings authorised before the zone was created and with no other way in, who may drive through to reach the space but may not stop in the public space; service vehicles for building works or services in the zone where the cross-streets will not do; vehicles carrying sick people to an address or a treatment inside the zone, with a fifteen-minute maximum stop that the Servei de Circulació may check; and anyone else who applies with a justification and is granted a comunal authorisation by the Junta de Govern.
Enforcement is automatic and named in the act itself: the Comú may run number-plate recognition cameras that feed a control centre at its own Servei de Circulació, and article 9 provides that infringements are penalised either directly by comunal traffic officers and public-way inspectors or through the sanctioning procedure on the strength of the recorded images.
Deliveries have their own arrangement and it is a refusal rather than a window: goods may not be brought into the pedestrian part of the avinguda Meritxell at all, and must be loaded and unloaded from the car parks or from the bays laid out for it in the adjoining streets. Only on the side streets named in article 1 is there a clock — working days, 08:00 to 11:00, twenty minutes maximum, on the circuits the Comú sets.
The authority to do all of this comes from the Comú's own general ordinance on civic coexistence of 27 September 2018, whose article 23 lets it declare zones with pedestrian priority in which circulation and parking of all types of vehicle are wholly or partly restricted, and whose article 91 fixes what the driver pays for being in one without the right to be.
Penalty €50.00
Vivand is the pedestrianised stretch of the avinguda Carlemany in Les Escaldes, between the carrer de la Unió/carrer del Valira and the avinguda de les Escoles/carrer del Picó, together with the cross-streets that give access to it — and the Comú d'Escaldes-Engordany closes it to wheeled vehicles as a matter of principle.
Article 2 states the general rule as a prohibition of access for any type of wheeled vehicle, with the exceptions that follow available only to vehicles of fewer than seven seats. 'Wheeled vehicle' is defined as widely as in the neighbouring parish: everything guided or not by a human being, powered or not, on one, two or four wheels, and skates and skateboards by name.
Single-seat wheeled vehicles specifically adapted for people with reduced mobility are outside the definition entirely and may enter at any time. Six categories may enter, and every one of them is a status plus paperwork rather than a payment.
Two need a standing authorisation: occupants — owners or tenants — of garage spaces inside the zone, who have free access around the clock but may not stop, and who must register their plates with the Comú; and works or service vehicles, where the job cannot be done from the cross-streets, on prior authorisation.
Two need an exceptional authorisation applied for at least twenty-four hours in advance: residents of the pedestrian zone, and traders or self-employed professionals with an authorised activity inside it.
Two more work off a circumstance: clients of hotels inside the zone, but only where the hotel held a licence for a luggage loading bay on the public way before the zone was created, with a fifteen-minute maximum; and vehicles going to an on-duty pharmacy during its guard hours, also fifteen minutes. Pre-booked taxis get in only in an emergency, after telling the Servei de Circulació, and also for fifteen minutes.
In every case the ordinance says stopping should preferably happen in the cross-streets or the public car parks rather than inside the reserved area. Deliveries are refused outright: goods may not be brought in for loading or unloading, and must be handled from the public car parks or from the bays laid out for the purpose in the cross-streets.
Anyone admitted must use only the signed streets, take the shortest route, keep to 10 km/h and give way to pedestrians at all times. Enforcement is by number-plate recognition cameras feeding a control centre at the Comú's Servei de Circulació, and the ordinance says plainly that drivers of unauthorised vehicles are penalised either directly by traffic officers or on the strength of the recorded images.
The Comú's own service vehicles and all emergency services sit outside the whole regime of hours, circulation and parking.
