Travel Forum / Destinations / Asia / May 2008Environmental Zones
Environmental zones, or "Particle-Free Emission Zones" are urban zones in which it is forbidden to drive a motor vehicle without a special sticker. These zones are an international trend. Here's a list of the countries and cities they are in so far and what areas are environmental zones: UNITED STATES (by state): ALABAMA: 1. Eufala ALASKA: 1. Anchorage 2. Fairbanks 3. Juneau 4. Ketchikan 5. Skagway 6. Denali National Park ARIZONA: 1. Tuscon 2. Grand Canyon National Park ARKANSAS: 1. Hot Springs CALIFORNIA: 1. Arcata 2. Eureka 3. Fresno 4. Berkeley 5. San Francisco 6. Santa Monica 7. San Diego 8. Los Angeles 9. Palm Springs 10. Oakland 11. Fremont COLORADO 1. Boulder 2. Carbondale 3. Aspen 4. Denver 5. Arvada 6. Fort Collins 7. Vail CONNECTICUT: 1. Hartford More to come later....

San Francisco > 10. Oakland I live in the S.F. Bay Area, am very familiar with all these places, and know of no such "environmental zones" in any of these places. (There are car-free zones in all of them, but none where you can drive with a "special sticker" as you claim.)

I thought it might be, but one never knows. Joey Jolley, "the troll who replies back to you sometimes*". * And says "I'm sorry" and promises never to post such ridiculous stuff again ...

He wants to ban cars which these days are largely Low or Very Low emission vehicles. Cars now come with little stickers attached to them that tell you which criterion they meet. > > In case he slipped by you, you're talking to the great Joey Jolley.

What parts of San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley are car-free zones? > On 5/20/2008 4:39 PM Matt Casey spake thus: > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > - Attributed to Winston Churchill What parts of SF, Oakland, and Berkeley have car-free zones? > What parts of SF, Oakland, and Berkeley have car-free zones?

At some times of the day, freeways passing through Oakland and Berkeley, while not car free, seem to use cars as street furniture given their average speed through all the gridlock. -:) SignatureMy real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB > On 5/20/2008 4:39 PM Matt Casey spake thus: > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > - Attributed to Winston Churchill Which streets in SF, Berkeley, and Oakland?

I dunno about the others but there sure as HELL is no requirement for a special sticker to drive a car in Hartford. Connecticut did away with emissions stickers completely a few years ago.

Oakland, and Berkeley? |
