There are no barriers or toll booths. Cameras read vehicle number plates driven through the zone, which are checked against our database to see if they meet ULEZ emissions standards. Advance information signs appear on major roads, indicating the distance to the boundary.
Cars, vans, motorcycles, mopeds, caravans, and minibuses can all be landed with a £180 penalty, payable if they have not paid their ULEZ charge correctly or on time. Note that there is a heightened risk of receiving a PCN if you pre-pay your ULEZ charge by post fewer than 10 days before travel.
If I don't pay the ULEZ charge, will I receive a penalty fine? Yes, TfL uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to detect entry to the zone. If your vehicle does not meet the ULEZ emission standards, failure to pay will result in a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) of £180, or £90 if paid within 14 days.
There is no discount for people that live inside the ULEZ. There are discounts and exemptions only for specified vehicles such as historic vehicles. Keepers of vehicles with a 'disabled' or 'disabled passenger' tax class will benefit from a grace period.
