Old friend and fellow motorhomer, Ian Manzie, has shared the following information and very useful links, discovered while he was preparing a motorhome journey from France to Norway. We don't know which will confound motorhomers the most in a future Europe: the strictures of 'Brexit' or the restrictions on large diesel-guzzling engines!

Legal entry
restrictions and the introduction of new environmental badges are on the
increase in Europe
Due
to ever-higher particulate matter and nitrogen oxide pollution in the cities
and local communities, regional entry restrictions and environmental zones
increasingly dominate the European traffic. The EU Air Quality Directive 2008/50/EG, which has been in effect since
11/06/2008 is the basis for the aversion of health threats caused by
particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide.
This directive has resulted in national rules and regulations, which are then
implemented either regionally or nationally in the countries of the EU, or are
applied in the cities and communities by complex national or local special
regulations or exemptions.
Green-Zones
shows therefore to commercial and tourist traffic on the European Roads, which
environmental zones exist in which countries and which regional arrangements
and exceptions are valid and which environmental badges and stickers are
required for entry. These badges can also be purchased with us, as to avoid the
sometimes very
high fines for the unauthorized entering of the environmental
zones.
The
challenges faced by commercial and logistics traffic, as well as by tourist bus
traffic and private traffic in Europe are increasing. When, where and how will
new environmental zones be introduced in European cities? And what norms must
be taken into account when driving through them?
The mere purchase of an environmental badge or vignette in Europe, in itself,
is often not enough. In many cases, what matters is the knowledge about which
class of which badge or vignette can drive, currently, through which type of
environmental zone, and during which days and times what types of vehicles must
take driving bans into account in order not to receive significant fines.
For this reason, Green-Zones provides information about environmental zones and
the necessary badges to drive through them by means of its different Internet
portals, with more than 40 pages in nearly 20 languages.
