About Environmental settings or Low Emission Zones (LEZ’s)
Low emission Zones (LEZ’s) are areas or roads where the most polluting vehicles are restricted from entering. This means that vehicles are banned,
or in some cases charged, if they enter the LEZ when their emissions are over a set level.
Vehicle emissions are classified by Euro Standards (1-6) for the vehicles that they affect. In many cases another factor is whether or not the vehicle
has a particulate filter or catalytic converter. Before you travel into a LEZ, you need to find out the emissions standard of your vehicle.
All LEZ’s affect heavy duty goods vehicles (usually over 3.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)), and most buses and coaches (usually defined as
over 5 tonnes GVW). Some LEZ’s also affect vans, cars and motorcycles.
Most LEZ’s operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with some of the Italian LEZ’s currently the only exceptions to this rule.
