Environmental settings or Low Emission Zones (LEZ)
Low Emission Zones (LEZs) or Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) 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 LEZs 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 LEZs also affect vans, cars and motorcycles.
Most LEZs operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with some of the Italian LEZs currently the only exceptions to this rule. To
