Low Emission Zones (Again)

So here we are, 2024 and past the deadline the government gave for the introduction of the LEZs.
So far, in the Alicante province, only Elche has said which it will be and it turns out there won't be any as the only controlled areas will be the ones already pedestrianised.
Alicante has announced they will be announcing them soon but will not include "any type of restriction or penalties for motorists" according to the mayor of Alicante. Apparently, according the opposition parties, the area is a "secret" and the deadline to implement them, if any, has been put back to June 2024.
Alicante has had several areas near the centre pedestrianised lately (anyone going past the traffic jams last year can testify to that) and the mayor has hinted that these will be the LEZ areas only along with the area in front of the castle.
Torrevieja? Not a peep. Rumours of it only being the new pedestrian areas near the port are going around but mutterings about Ramon Galud being included are also rife. The proposals have not yet been ratified so maybe another extension to the deadline?
Benidorm? They have actually said they will start from Jan 1st but say there are no further restrictions on mobility except the ones already in place which have been mainly pedestrianised area along Levante beach (previously restricted to deliveries etc), the centre but not clear which bit and the already pedestrianised areas of Poniente beach. Again, these proposals are still to be decided but those areas are "under tests" at the moment so be prepared to look out for signs.
Anyone seen any cameras or even signs going up anywhere?
