The new restrictions on car traffic in the Reduced Emissions Zones (ZER) of Lisbon entered into force on the day and involves restrictions on the movement of cars with previous enrollment to 2000 and to 1996 in two areas defined between 07:00 and 21 : 00 on weekdays.
However, the emergency vehicles, police, prisoner transport or values as well as cars of some residents in the city with the previous file 2000 can continue to run in Lisbon.
The city council resolution also establishes a regime for taxis, but a temporary exception. From July and until July 2017, the taxi drivers have to change cars or adapt the car so as not to pollute the environment, or install emissions reduction equipment approved by the Institute for Mobility and Transport.
The fine for violating the rules for driving on ZER has a value of 24.94 euros.
The objective of the measure is to improve the quality of the air we breathe, whose values have already received a sentence of Portugal by the European Court of Justice.
