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. [5] The zone à trafic limité (ZTL) will be in the first, second, third and fourth arrondissements in an area of 5.5 sq km that includes the Louvre and Tuileries Gardens, and much of Avenue de l'Opéra.
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.
Cities such as Tehran which have used such schemes are now looking to more sustainable methods of traffic and emissions control, [3] such as low emission zone or traffic limited zones as used in Europe. [4] Access regulations have often been found to be effective, in reducing congestion, traffic and pollution. [5]
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 Worldwide Harmonised Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) [1] is a global driving cycle standard for determining the levels of pollutants, CO 2 emission standards and fuel consumption of conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) and hybrid automobiles, as well as the all-electric range of plug-in electric vehicles.
Emission control areas (ECAs), or sulfur emission control areas (SECAs), are sea areas in which stricter controls were established to minimize airborne emissions from ships as defined by Annex VI [1] of the 1997 MARPOL Protocol. The emissions specifically include SOx, NOx, ODSs and VOCs [2] and the regulations came into effect in May 2005.
