In a zone de protection de l'air (ZPA), which tends to be significantly larger than the ZCR zones, traffic is only restricted by public announcement at times of high air pollution; and all vehicles must display a vignette at those times. If a ZPA applies to an entire département then it is termed a ZPAd (zone de protection de l'air ...
A low-emission zone (LEZ) is a defined area where access by some polluting vehicles is restricted or deterred with the aim of improving air quality.This may favour vehicles such as bicycles, micromobility vehicles, (certain) alternative fuel vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and zero-emission vehicles such as all-electric vehicles.
In October 2012, Nantes was the first French city to adopt the concept of an LTZ in the city center. [4]Paris implemented a limited traffic zone in November 2024.

As of 1 March 2007, all drivers are required to purchase an emission sticker when passing through low-emission zones in several cities and municipalities. Certain "green zones" have completely disallowed entrance to vehicles with higher particle emissions ("yellow" and "red" groups). Travellers passing through these areas without the sticker ...
The speed limit on motorways is also 80mph in France (68mph when it is raining), while limits on A and B roads were reduced to 50mph in 2018. Remember to give way to the right when at an intersection.
The Environmental Zone is part of Berlin’s Air Quality Plan to reduce the emissions from vehicles focusing specifically on particulate matter (PM 10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO 2). Sixteen monitoring stations where set up in the city to record pollution concentrations in an effort to eventually narrow it down to a specific area of the city that ...
Cities generally use the introduction of low-emission zones (LEZs) or zero-emission zones (ZEZs), sometimes with an accompanying air quality certificate sticker such as Crit'air (France), to restrict the use of fossil-fuelled cars in some or all of its territory. [19] These zones are growing in number, size, and strictness.
