Product Type Emission Zones
Introduction
Emission zones are areas where restrictions apply to the emission class of vehicles, also known as environmental zones. Currently, there are two categories of emission zones: low-emission zones and zero-emission zones. Within NDW, George is used to visualize and manage these zones. Vehicles that do not meet the applicable emission standards will receive a fine if they enter the environmental zone.
The zones are indicated by the RVV traffic signs C22a to C22d.
Low-Emission Zones
Low-emission zones are urban areas where vehicles with high emissions of harmful substances, such as older diesel cars, are not allowed to drive. The goal of these zones is to improve air quality and reduce the emissions of harmful substances such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM).
Zero-Emission Zones
Zero-emission zones go a step further than low-emission zones. In these areas, only vehicles that produce no emissions of harmful substances, such as electric cars and hydrogen vehicles, are allowed to drive. The aim of zero-emission zones is to further improve air quality and reduce CO2 emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.
Data Formats
Data on emission zones is available in the following formats:
Subscription
Emission zone information can be obtained in the formats mentioned above. For this purpose, the product emissiezones is available,
and the desired format can be selected during implementation. For guidance on creating a subscription, see the Web Portal Manual.
The emission zone product is available on the NDW open data portal via emissiezones.xml.gz in DATEX II format. This is updated periodically (daily).
