Green Zone in Leipzig, Germany
Leipzig, in a similar way to the German city of Erfurt, which introduced the environmental zones in 2012, passed straight to a green badge. Immediately after the introduction of the zones, cars with a red or yellow sticker were not allowed into the city. Only cars with a green badge are allowed entry.
Yet most German cities (Berlin and Munich, for example) initially permitted entrance to less environmentally friendly vehicles.

From 1. 1. 2012, all drivers need a green badge to enter Leipzig. Entrance is therefore allowed only to vehicles with a minimum level of air pollution that falls under the Euro 4 and Euro 1 emissions classes for diesel and petrol, respectively. Failure to comply with these rules is punished in Germany with a fine of 80 euros. The low-emissions zone of Leipzig covers the vast majority of the city's territory and is bordered by the A14 motorway to the north and the A38 motorway to the south.
