The Mayor of London has put forward proposals to expand the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) London-wide from next summer. Under the plans, which are currently under public consultation, the ULEZ will stretch to cover almost the whole of the capital.
What fines are in place under ULEZ?
The Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year (except Christmas Day).
The zone was expanded last year and now covers all areas within the North and South Circular Roads.
The North Circular (A406) and South Circular (A205) roads are not in the zone.
According to TfL: “Even if you make a short trip inside the zone using a vehicle that doesn’t meet the ULEZ emissions standards, you need to pay the £12.50 daily charge.
“This includes residents of the ULEZ.
“However, you don’t need to pay the ULEZ charge if you are parked inside the zone and don’t drive.”
There are some exemptions and discounts applicable for certain people.
Most vehicles need to meet the ULEZ emissions standard or pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive inside the zone.
This includes cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including five tonnes).
The ULEZ is enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age.
Lorries, vans or specialist heavy vehicles (over 3.5 tonnes) and buses, minibuses or coaches (over five tonnes) do not need to pay the ULEZ charge.
They will need to pay a LEZ charge if they do not meet the LEZ emissions standard.
