About Green Zones in Darmstadt

Green Zone in Darmstadt, Germany

From November 1, 2015, only domestic and foreign vehicles with a valid green environmental badge can enter Darmstadt.

The restrictions apply to passenger cars and as trucks.

Which types of vehicles are affected?

The obligation to own the environmental badge applies to both German and foreign passenger cars (M1); motorhomes (M1); heavy campers (M1); minibuses (M2); buses (M3); small transporters (N1); transporters (N2); trucks (N2); and heavy goods vehicles (N3).

Driving in Darmstadt

Are you going to Darmstadt by car?

From 1.11.2015, both German and foreign drivers need the green badge to enter Darmstadt. Entrance is therefore allowed only to vehicles with the lowest impact on air pollution that falls under the Euro 4 (diesel) or Euro 1 (petrol) emissions classes. Failure to comply with these rules is punished in Germany with a fine of 100 euros.

The Darmstadt low-emissions zone includes most of the city, with the exception of the E451 motorway.
