There will be further Clean Air Zones in the UK, but I think these are the only two coming into effect in the next 6 months.

I'm pleased that my SL350 & Discovery 4 are compliant & the two MGs are exempt.

My "lowest emission car for sale at the time" Smart For2 isn't... but my 911 is

You could be confused and think it's about the environment, reading the headlines...

 

[NJS5]

There's quite a bit more information on future CAZs here

There's a section of the M1 (~J33) by Sheffield where there is a 60mph speed limit "for air quality"
It is currently just 1 sign (it was a longer section in January) so drivers brake for the 60 limit then accelerate again for the next "national speed limit applies" sign... great for the environment that is...

Yay, so when I need to visit the office in Brum now, I get to clam an extra £8 per day for the clean air zone and privilege of using our company car park

I have found an interactive map, which is very useful here.

Map key:

Clean Air Zone expected or being planned

Area required by government to produce a CAZ plan

CAZ not expected or opposed by local authority

Red- Feck the environment we don't care

The air leaving one's big exhausty thingy is considerably cleaner than wot goes in that filterry thingy at the front , the diesel stuff fumey thing is clean enough to drink, honest , it's like a golden shower I think the technical term is guv

My most polluting cars are exempt, the cleanest I have to pay in both towns , however the SLK is exempt for both

Well Leeds is in the "Feck the environment we don't care" Category but I knew plans were afoot to create a CAZ and apparently "Leeds’ Clean Air Zone has achieved its aims early and is no longer required, joint review finds" So I'll be able to drive my polluting Euro IV Diesel around town without financial penalties, that is if I ever pluck up the courage to negotiate the ever changing and over complicated road network in there, I think it must have been designed by a paranoid schizophrenic who took turns in the road planning dep't!

If you get in... you can never leave...

If you get in... you can never leave...

Never by the same way twice and that's a fact!

Like Telford......series of roundabouts leading to a town centre which doesn't exist

Amongst other places but not in 2020, nor likely in 2021 either

Leeds really is something else indeed, the roads appear to change on an hourly basis

Never by the same way twice and that's a fact!

Couldn't agree more... I'd just about managed to get the same way out before I stopped going regularly
