The B-10 is a 20-kilometre (12.43 mi) ring motorway partially encircling the city of Barcelona in Catalonia, Spain by the eastern side. It starts at Nus de la Trinitat, a major highway interchange in northern Barcelona, and runs along the entire length of the Besòs River and Barcelona's coastline south to Zona Franca logistics area, where it becomes the Autovía A-2.[2] It is linked at both north and south ends to the B-20 or Ronda de Dalt, which encircles Barcelona by the western side, jointly forming a beltway that surrounds the city commonly referred to as Les Rondes.[3]

The motorway becomes and integrated urban freeway as it passes through central and northern Barcelona, so all its signaling becomes green and is called Ronda Litoral, unlike the southern section of B-10 where the signaling remains blue as if it was a typical interurban autovía, which is considered part of European route E90 and is maintained by the Spanish government.[4] It features a mix of below-grade, at-grade and covered tunnel sections, mainly as it passes through central Barcelona, where it is only two lanes in each direction while the other sections are mostly three lanes.

Although the speed limit is 80 km/h (50 mph) along the urban freeway section and 100 km/h (62 mph) along the interurban section,[5] the car's average top speed is lower due to constant flow of traffic with more than 170,000 vehicles per day,[6] and even average top speed may reach 20 km/h (12 mph) during rush hour.[7] Additional restrictions for heavy goods vehicles are applied on the section situated between Montjuïc–Zona Franca logistics area and Rambla de Prim exits, whereby weight limits is posted 12 tonnes and all vehicles over 12 meters long are banned from that section.[8]
