London moves to curb air pollution
-----------------------
In a radical attempt to tackle toxic air pollution, London’s new Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) will force some motorists to pay a total of £24 ($30) a day to enter the city centre
-----------------------
Enforcement: From Apr 8 2019, ULEZ will cover existing Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ), but will operate 24 hours a day, every day. From Oct 25, 2021, it will expand to become world’s largest emission charging zone

Cost: £12.50 per day to enter ULEZ if vehicle is not compliant – plus £11.50 congestion charge, applicable Monday-Friday, 7am-6pm

Fine of £160 ($208) for failure to pay
