Scotland's Low Emission Zones Protecting public health by improving air quality while helping to meet our climate change emission reduction targets Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are a moving traffic contravention, preventing the most polluting vehicles driving within an area, which improves air quality and helps to protect public health. LEZs operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round (including all Public Holidays such as Christmas Day and Boxing Day). Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras are linked to local and national vehicle licencing databases, to monitor all vehicles driving in a LEZ. They will detect vehicles which do not comply with the emission standards. Stationary vehicles are not subject to LEZ restrictions. Scottish LEZs will be enforced by Penalty Charge Notice (PCN), there is no facility for pre-payment. When a non-compliant vehicle is detected driving within a LEZ a PCN is issued to the registered keeper of that vehicle. Emission Standards A vehicle may only drive within a LEZ if it meets the specified emission standards.
