Sign C22e: low-emission or zero-emission zone

A low-emission zone or zero-emission zone starts here. The sub-sign underneath shows which vehicles and emission classes it applies to.

  • A zero-emission zone applies to vans and trucks, except zero-emission vehicles. Sub-sign C22e1 is then placed under the sign. art. 86e
