New environmental zones in major German cities
Over the next two years, starting from 1 January 2008, environmental zones are to be designated in 20 German cities. Only vehicles displaying on their windscreens a "Feinstaubplakette", a special emissions-control sticker in red, yellow or green, may enter these zones. Without such a sticker, you are liable to a fine!
Further information for vehicle owners from abroad can be found on the website of the Federal Environment Ministry:
