Prior to 2000 cars banned from the center of Lisbon – RTP

The driving restrictions for trucks with previous enrollment to 2000 relate to zone 1, which runs from the axis of Liberty Avenue to Low (Rua Alexandre Herculano, Commerce Square, Field of Onions and Pier do Sodré).

As for the cars with previous enrollment to 1996 will also be prevented from circulating in zone 2, which is defined by the limits of Avenida de Ceuta, North-South Axis, Avenue of Armed Forces of the United US, Marshal Antonio Spinola, Holy Constable and Prince Henry.

Será only admitted through the area between the Black Street and the Praça da Alegria and Rua da Conceição, as links between hills.

These driving restrictions fall within the third phase of the Low Emission Zone (ZER ), the city of Lisbon, passed in the House Meeting held on 29 October 2014. The second phase was implemented in 2012 and the first was created in 2011.

Os results already achieved in zone 2, between 2011 and 2012 were
 globally positive for the environment, such as reducing emissions
 pollutants by 20 percent in the case of particulates (PM10), and eight
 cent in the case of nitrogen dioxide (NO2).
Previous Cars for 1996 also with new rules

 Initially, the local authority has banned cars prior to 1992 to move in the area of ​​Liberty and Lower Avenue. In the second phase extended the prohibition of these cars to the zone 2 and established than previous cars to 1996 also could no longer circulate in Lower (zone 1).

Now, the city once again extends the scope of ban and prohibit previous cars circulating 1996 in zone 2 and previous cars to 2000 to move in zone 1.

A OECD puts air pollution as the main cause of death associated with environmental factors.

Who does not comply, you risk paying 25 euro fine but we are considering a fine of up to one hundred and twenty euros.

In this third stage, the Council of Lisbon decided to also include taxis, which have until June 30 to adapt to new rules that will prevent to move the center of the city.
Exceptions

 In this third phase there are vehicles that can continue to move freely, in particular, emergency vehicles and Disabled, historical certified vehicles, the cars of residents, but they have parking disc, natural gas cars, LPG and motorcycles .

They are already covered police cars, military, armored and transport values.

The problem of air quality in urban areas is an issue that has merit increasing attention from community organizations and the Portuguese government.

In 2008, the new European Framework Directive Air Quality set goals and air quality parameters in order to reduce, prevent and avoid its harmful effects on human health.

Failure to comply, repeated, pollutant concentration limits in the Lisbon area, where the Freedom / Low Avenue axis showed the worst results, led the Commission to initiate legal proceedings against the Portuguese State before the Court of European Court.

In order to achieve the set environmental goals, the municipality therefore initiated the implementation of Reduced Emission Zone in the city of Lisbon. The third phase shall start on Thursday
