Driving in Annemasse

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

The short answer for Annemasse

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

What it means for your car

Petrol or LPG. Today only unclassified vehicles are banned — those too old to be given any Crit'Air sticker. The order applies that to cars (M1), light commercial vehicles (N1), heavy goods vehicles (N2 and N3) and buses and coaches (M2 and M3). Crit'Air 5 is added on 1 January 2028, Crit'Air 4 on 1 January 2029 and Crit'Air 3 on 1 January 2030, each ban adding to the ones before it.

The schemes, one by one

• Zone à faibles émissions mobilité (ZFE-m) d'Annemasse Agglo Low emission zone

  Annemasse bans only vehicles too old to be given a Crit'Air sticker at all, and it is the French zone that publishes the longest run-up to anything harder: Crit'Air 5 is not restricted until 1 January 2028, Crit'Air 4 until 2029 and Crit'Air 3 until 2030. Those three steps are not a plan the agglomeration might adopt — they are articles of the order that created the zone.

  Motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles are exempt outright by local derogation, which is the opposite of Angers, where a two-wheeler from before 30 May 2000 is banned.

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
