Yes, it exists. Some Brazilian cities have differentiated Zona Azul categories for different types of vehicles, with fees proportional to the space occupied on the public road [1].
Categories and Fees
| Vehicle Type | Typical Fee | General Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Motorcycle | 50% of the car fee | Specific or shared spaces |
| Car (passenger) | Standard fee (100%) | General Zona Azul rule |
| Van/Utility | 100–150% of the car fee | Same spaces or specific zones |
| Truck | Not allowed in traditional Zona Azul | Loading/unloading zones with their own rules |
| Dumpster (rubble) | R$ 50–100/day of occupancy | Special authorization required |
Motorcycles in Zona Azul
The rule for motorcycles varies widely between cities:
- Americana/SP: R$ 10 for a motorcycle vs. R$ 25 for a car (60% discount)
- Some state capitals: motorcycles do not pay Zona Azul (free exclusive spaces)
- Other cities: motorcycles pay the same amount as cars
Trucks and Loading/Unloading
Trucks generally do not park in Zona Azul spaces — they use specific loading and unloading zones with their own rules:
- Restricted hours (usually early morning or first thing in the morning)
- Maximum operating time (30–60 minutes)
- Prior authorization in some cities
Rubble Dumpsters
The occupation of public roads by rubble dumpsters is regulated separately:
- Requires authorization from the city government
- Charged per day of occupancy (R$ 50–100/day)
- Mandatory signage (reflectors)
- Maximum permitted period
Digipare allows payment for all categories available in the city, including motorcycles and special vehicles [2].
