The Crit’Air sticker is essential for driving in restricted traffic zones (ZCR) in France.
It distinguishes between vehicles according to their level of pollution and favours those that emit the least pollutants. By displaying a Crit’Air sticker, you are helping to reduce air pollution and improve the quality of life in our towns and cities.
Whether you are a resident or a visitor, it is crucial to comply with these regulations to avoid fines and traffic restrictions.
The Crit’Air sticker is divided into several categories depending on the level of pollutant emissions from the vehicle. Electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles get the green sticker, offering unrestricted access to restricted traffic zones (ZCR).
Natural gas vehicles and rechargeable hybrids get the Crit’Air sticker 1, which gives them preferential access. Recent petrol and diesel vehicles get Crit’Air stickers 2 and 3, with access varying according to their date of registration. Older diesels receive Crit’Air stickers 4 and 5, with tighter restrictions in the ZCR.
