Crit'Air cert

Green sticker (Crit’Air zero) - electric vehicles.

Then categories from 1 to 5 in order of increasing degree of pollution emission.

Vehicles in categories with higher numbers face more restrictions than those with lower Crit’Air numbers.

That’s it.

OK thanks, got it now. Don’t suppose you know if the R1 around Antwerp is exempt from the LEZ? The map is vague.
Fortunately the Paris one is only Monday to Friday. J

Dont forget class 3 vehicles are banned from a lot of areas like Rouen and Paris from Jan 1 2025.

This map suggests it is outside the zone:

Yes I see it. And even though the Ring has LEZ on both sides in parts the road is white.
But I’m battling the inevitable and this will be the last trip from Rotterdam to the Haute Pyrenese for my 1984 Volvo 360. The train option looks good if you book 2 months in advance. Two trains, change at Bordeaux, €200, 9 hours.

I think they usually keep major through routes outside Low Emission Zones - the one exception I know of is Rouen, where the main route from Dieppe down towards the A13/A28 does go through the Rouen LEZ - supposedly “camera enforced from 2024”.

This has been reversed in Rouen’s case as the air quality has improved.

Thanks, where did you find out about this?
