The Ghent low-emission zone is limited to the area within the city's ring road (R40). 

The following roads fall outside the scope of the low-emission zone:

• R40 ring road
• N430, Nieuwewandeling - Blaisantvest axis
• B401, E17 slip roads - N422
• Gent-Zuid car park (P3) approach and entry roads (Gent-Zuid car park is accessible without entering the LEZ)
• AZ Sint-Lucas car park approach road (AZ Sint-Lucas car park is accessible without entering the LEZ)

To be allowed to enter the LEZ, a vehicle has to meet a number of requirements. Your vehicle's Euro standard and fuel type determine whether your vehicle is allowed to enter.

Check your vehicle by means of the online tool.

• If you drive a diesel-powered vehicle that at least meets the Euro 5 standard, you can freely enter and leave the low-emission zone.
• If you drive a petrol, CNG, LPG or LNG-powered vehicle that at least meets the Euro 2 standard, you can freely enter and leave the low-emission zone.
• If you drive a Euro 4 standard diesel-powered vehicle, you need to buy a permit in order to be granted access to the low-emission zone.
• If you drive a Euro 3, 2, 1 or 0 standard diesel-powered vehicle, you are not allowed to enter the low-emission zone.
• If you drive a Euro 1 or 0 standard petrol, CNG, LPG or LNP-powered vehicle, you are not allowed to enter the low-emission zone.
