German Cities Designate Environmental Zones

In an attempt to cut air pollution emissions, new environmental zones went into effect on Jan. 1 in three German cities, Berlin, Cologne and Hannover. An environmental sticker is being issued in three colors - red, yellow and green, for vehicles that meet specific environmental requirements. Between Jan. 1, 2008 to Jan. 1, 2010 all vehicles displaying a sticker will be allowed into designated environmental zones within the cities. Vehicles with no sticker will not be able to drive into these zones. After 2010, only vehicles with a green sticker (meeting Pollutant Class 4) will be allowed within the zones.
