<p>Exceptions are not defined yet. Crafts businesses mostly using diesel vans will be excepted as will be delivery traffic and other necessary traffic.</p> <p>I doubt that collector cars will be allowed. First, most people owning a collectors use a standard cars for their daily chores. Second, the bans are for a number of city roads or single city quarters in 67 cities, not the whole country.</p> <p>[quote user="Firelock76"]Or 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's, or 80's cars, for that matter? [/quote]</p> <p>Bans are currently possible for diesel automobiles with Euro 4, 3, 2 exhaust classes, gasoline cars with Euro 2, and older. Starting in September 2019 diesel cars with Euro 5 can get banned too.</p> <p>Since the verdict most politicians promise to do everything to avoid bans but they don't have a clue what to do. It was them who dragged their feet and ignored the NOx limits for almost ten years. There was a lot that could have been done over the years. But the EU legal action looming it has to go fast. An EU verdict can get very costly, $480,000/day until the limits met, 17.5 billion per year.</p> <p>Better transit is a way to reduce individual car traffic but it needs advance time to build up capacity.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
