Green Zone in Karlsruhe, Germany
The city of Karlsruhe introduced the environmental zones in 2009, a year later than did the capital city of Berlin. While between 2009 and 2011 it was possible to travel to Karlsruhe with a red, yellow or green sticker, from 1 January, 2012, the city began to require a yellow or green sticker. Following the pattern of other German cities, Karlsruhe continued to tighten the conditions, and exclusively a green badge has been needed to enter the city since 2013.
