Protests Erupt in London as Mayor Sadiq Khan Expands Carbon Tax Green Zone

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Protests are underway in London on Tuesday as Mayor Sadiq Khan announced the expansion of a “green” zone that will tax drivers based on vehicle emissions.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) charges drivers in vehicles weighing over 3.5 tons £12.50 daily for driving within the zone, which has now expanded to include all of greater London, which will bring 5 million more Londoners into the tax zone.

The ULEZ cameras scan your license plate then cross-check it with a database to determine if you meet emissions standards. If not, you’re fined £12.50 per day.

The dark green area represents the previous ULEZ, the bright green represents the expanded ULEZ that went into effect Tuesday.
