Low emission zone in Krakow stopped for the time being!

On 11 January 2024, the District Administrative Court in Krakow, Poland, stopped the city's planned low emission zone for the time being. The project, known as the Clean Transport Zone (SCT), was intended to designate a part of the city where only cars with certain Euro standards would be allowed to enter. However, despite the good intentions of the city council, the court declared the project invalid.

Air pollution: Poland introduces environmental zones

Starting in Krakow and Warsaw, high-emission vehicles will be driven out of Polish cities from mid-2024. Environmental zones based on the European model are supposed to regulate road traffic and reduce pollutant levels in the air. However, constant postponements and logistical problems with implementation raise fears of further delays - to the regret of citizens and the environment.
