  • A new environmental sticker based system was introduced in France on July 1, 2016 in the course of the introduction of the new environmental laws, the so called „Crit‘Air clean sticker or „clean air certificate”
  • At the same time so called low emission zones, „Zones à Circulation Restrainte/ZCR” which limit the traffic flows into these zones, were set up. Only vehicles equipped with this sticker are allowed to enter the ZCR.
  • Each city is currently in a position to register as ZCR and to make the emission sticker mandatory to enter the zones. The city will set up road signs to inform about entry zones and respective admission time table.
  • The following cities have made the clean air sticker mandatory so far: Paris (since 01/15/2017), Lyon, Villeurbanne and Grenoble (12/2016). More cities will introduce the sticker in the following months: Bordeaux, Strasbourg, Lille etc.
