The Government set legal limits for pollution and Bristol has introduced a Clean Air Zone to ensure the city meets those limits within the shortest possible time. Bristol’s zone is now live. You must pay to drive within the zone if your vehicle does not meet the zone’s emission standards, unless you have an exemption.
