Scotland’s  Low Emission Zone (LEZs)  information

Low Emission Zones  (LEZs) have been introduced in Edinburgh starts from 1st June 2024.  Scotland’s Low Emission Zones will only allow access to vehicles which meet minimum emission standards or meet the exemption criteria. LEZs set an environmental limit on certain road spaces, restricting access for the most polluting vehicles so as to improve air quality. Improving air quality in our cities makes them even more attractive places to live, work, shop and spend leisure time in.

The LEZ operates continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It applies to all vehicles except those that are entitled to an exemption. Motorcycles and mopeds are also exempt.  You can check the LEZ boundary on Edinburgh’s council website.

You can also use the ”Vehicle Checker” to check if your vehicle can or cannot drive within a LEZ based on whether it is considered compliant or non-compliant with the emission standards.  Any vehicles that breach the emission standards will be issued a fine for entering the zone.
