Umweltzone and Umweltplakette in Germany

In the German Umweltzonen you may only drive with a valid Umweltplakette (usually the green one). It is mandatory for foreign vehicles too. Zonetoegang shows per number plate which sticker fits your vehicle and in which cities an Umweltzone applies.

The green Umweltplakette, also for foreign plates

Almost all German Umweltzonen require the green sticker (Schadstoffgruppe 4). You order it from an official body or inspection station. Zonetoegang colours the zones per number plate and links to the official place.

Per number plate, not per vehicle category

Enter the number plate and Zonetoegang fetches the vehicle from the RDW: Euro class, CO2 class, fuel, weight, vehicle type and date of first admission. Every zone then gets a verdict for exactly that vehicle: may enter, may enter until a date, or no access. You see it straight away on the map.

Only official sources, updated daily

Zonetoegang uses only government sources: NDW, RDW, Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch government (milieuzones.nl and opwegnaarzes.nl), officielebekendmakingen.nl and the authorities of other countries. A new traffic decision about a zone is included the next morning.
