The B-10, also known as Ronda Litoral or Cinturó Litoral, 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 Nus del Llobregat near Zona Franca, where it becomes the Autovía A-2.[2] It is linked 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 highway as it passes through both central and northern Barcelona, so all its signaling becomes green, unlike the southern section of B-10 where the signaling remains blue as if it was a typical interurban controlled-access highway, which is considered part of European route E90. It features a mix of below-grade, at-grade and underground sections, mainly as it passes through central Barcelona, where it is also 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-highway section and 100 km/h (62 mph) along the interurban-highway section,[4] the car's average top speed is lower due to constant flow of traffic with more than 170,000 vehicles per day,[5] and even average top speed may reach 20 km/h (12 mph) during rush hour.[6] Additional restrictions for heavy goods vehicles are applied on the section situated between Montjuïc–Zona Franca logistics area and Rambla de Prim interchange, whereby weight limits is posted 12 tonnes and all vehicles over 12 meters long are banned from that section.[7]
