1 scheme in 1 city. Every figure comes from an official source and is re-checked.
Luxembourg has 1 driving restriction that we have checked against an official source, in 1 city. It is a limited traffic zone.
This page lists no country-wide requirement for Luxembourg. Anything owed before you reach a city is not covered here, so check the national road authority before you leave.

Luxembourg has one driving restriction on our books: the Zone piétonne de la Ville de Luxembourg (Centre-Ville et Place de Paris) (limited traffic zone). What is a limited traffic zone?

Luxembourg City closes its pedestrian centre with retractable bollards, and the question that decides your case is not what your car emits but what time it is and whether the city has issued you a badge.
The Service Circulation, the department of the city administration that operates the bollards, states the timetable in one sentence: deliveries and access to the pedestrian zone are always guaranteed between 06.00 and 10.00, and it is during that window that the bollards stay down.
Outside it the bollards are up, and any road user who wants to go into the zone between 10.00 and 06.00 the following day has to announce themselves at the technical terminal, where access operators are physically present 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
There is a second delivery window in the evening, 18.00 to 22.00, but the city is explicit that the bollards stay raised through it — the delivery is authorised, the barrier is not lowered for it.
That evening window does not exist everywhere: at the place d'Armes and its adjacent streets, at the place Guillaume II, and in the rue de la Reine, the rue du Marché-aux-Herbes, the rue du Nord and the rue de la Loge, loading and unloading goods is confined to the morning slot, though the city notes that using a private car park in those streets stays unrestricted.
Who may hold a permanent right of entry is narrow and is not something a visitor can buy on arrival.
The annual vignette, which comes with an access badge, is for residents and traders using a parking space or a private garage reachable only through the pedestrian zone, and for residents and traders whose home has no way out other than onto the zone; the city says in terms that only right-holders meeting the criteria set out in the traffic regulation can obtain it.
A temporary vignette exists for the organisers of events, of works and of house moves inside the zone, applied for from the Service Circulation in advance, and on the day itself those firms get in through the intercom at the entrance once the special authorisation they were issued has been checked.
Two rules apply to everyone who is inside lawfully and are stated with an exclamation mark on the city's own page: parking in the pedestrian zone is strictly forbidden, and the speed limit for the vehicles allowed to drive there is 20 km/h.
The bollards are not a decorative threshold — they are a camera-monitored access-control installation that, in the city's own words, has been progressively limiting the access of cars, lorries and other vehicles to the pedestrian sector since March 2022, in accordance with the provisions of the traffic regulation.
