Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone enforces a vehicle pollution ban from June 1, with fines up to £480.

Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone (LEZ) will enforce a ban on the worst polluting vehicles in two weeks, with Glasgow having already implemented similar rules. The Scottish schemes, unlike London's Ultra Low Emission Zone, do not charge drivers but impose hefty fines on non-compliant vehicles. Edinburgh's zone will be enforced from June 1, with fines starting at £60 and doubling for subsequent breaches, reaching a cap of £480 for cars and light goods vehicles.
