Low Emission Zone (LEZ)

This Dataset shows the boundary of Glasgow City Council Low Emission Zone. A Low Emission Zone is an area where a person may not drive a vehicle which does not meet a specified emission standard. LEZs are intended to reduce pollution levels and improve air quality in areas where standards are not being met. LEZs are based on a penalty notice approach to effectively ban non-compliant vehicles. Glasgow's LEZ is being phased in to give everyone time to prepare and from 1 June 2023, phase 2 (all vehicles) Low Emission Zone (LEZ) will come into force. All vehicles entering the city centre zone area will need to meet the less-polluting emission standards or face a penalty charge. There are some exemptions and zone residents have extra time to comply. For more info visit: https://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=23025
