Why is an LEZ being introduced in Glasgow, and what will it mean for motorists in the city?
Scotland's first low emission zone is set to come fully into effect in Glasgow on 1 June.
Residents living within the zone will not have to comply until June 2024, and some taxis in Glasgow have also been given extra time.The owner of any non-compliant vehicle detected within the low emission zone will initially face a fine of £60. Before the pandemic, concentrations of the pollutant nitrogen dioxide on Hope Street in Glasgow averaged 50% more than the safe legal limit.
Councils now also talk about LEZs being important for tackling climate change, although it's unclear whether it will remove entirely a significant number of vehicles from the roads or just shift them out of the city centre.Glasgow has long held the title of having the most polluted street in the country.
