Emission Zone 2

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) was introduced in London and aims to improve air quality by reducing the number of vehicles in London that do not meet emissions standards. Cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) not meeting the ULEZ emission standards must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone. The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) was introduced in London and is designed to reduce harmful emissions from the most polluting diesel-engined lorries, coaches and buses. Cars and motorcycles are not affected. Vehicles not meeting the LEZ emission standards must pay a daily charge to drive within the zone. For more information about ULEZ and LEZ, visit the Transport for London website. This zone entry sign indicates that both the ULEZ and LEZ are in operation. The name of the traffic authority is shown in the top panel. The charging period, if not applicable at all times, may be shown in a panel below the lower panel. Details of the charges and payment methods are available from the appropriate traffic authority.
