Driving in Angers

France: 1 scheme to know about before you drive in.

The short answer for Angers

Angers has one driving restriction on our books: the Zone à faibles émissions mobilité (ZFE-m) d'Angers Loire Métropole (low emission zone). What is a low emission zone?

What it means for your car

Petrol or LPG. Only unclassifiable vehicles are banned, and the cut-off is a first registration date rather than a fuel or a Euro standard. Cars: registered before 31 December 1996. Light commercial vehicles: before 30 September 1997. Heavy goods vehicles: before 3 September 2001. Motorised two-wheelers: before 30 May 2000. Anything newer can be given a Crit'Air sticker and may enter.

The schemes, one by one

• Zone à faibles émissions mobilité (ZFE-m) d'Angers Loire Métropole Low emission zone

  Angers restricts only vehicles too old to be given a Crit'Air sticker at all — for a car, first registered before 31 December 1996, which Angers Loire Métropole puts at 2% of the fleet. The zone is the commune of Angers itself, minus the roads leading to the park-and-ride and station car parks and minus the wholesale market. Any car that can carry a Crit'Air sticker, of any class, is unaffected.

Before you set off

France also has a national requirement

• Certificat qualité de l'air (vignette Crit'Air)Every vehicle class the nomenclature covers — cars, two-wheelers, tricycles and quadricycles, light commercial vehicles and heavy vehicles including buses and coaches. The class depends on the vehicle type, its engine and its Euro emission standard, and once assigned it is valid for the whole life of the vehicle.

This is owed on the country's roads, not inside this scheme. What France asks, with the source
