From end of May / beginning of June on Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh LEZs will be enforced.

A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is an area which sets an environmental limit on certain city roads, restricting access for the most polluting vehicles to improve air quality. This helps protect public health within cities, making them more attractive places in which to live, work and to visit. Vehicles that do not meet the emission standards set for a LEZ may be subject to a penalty charge notice.

LEZs were introduced across Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow on 31 May 2022.

Local grace periods now apply until enforcement begins.

• Dundee will start enforcement on 30 May 2024
• Aberdeen will start enforcement on 1 June 2024
• Edinburgh will start enforcement on 1 June 2024.

The geographic extent, scope, timescales for implementation of Scotland’s LEZs were determined by each local authority.
