Strasbourg Eurometropole low-emission zone (ZFE)

The ZFE covers the whole Eurométropole de Strasbourg (33 communes), 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for all motor vehicles including 2- and 3-wheelers. Excluded so traffic can pass: the A4 and A35 north of the A4/A35 interchange at Vendenheim, the M35 up to exit 10 (Geispolsheim) and the M353.

Banned on 10 November 2026: unclassified vehicles, Crit'Air 5 (since January 2023) and Crit'Air 4 (since January 2024). Crit'Air 3 and 2 have been in a pedagogical phase without fines since January 2025.

Next step: a Crit'Air 3 ban is scheduled for 1 January 2027. A public consultation (26 Oct-15 Nov 2026) proposes postponing it to 1 January 2028. Strasbourg, Schiltigheim, Ostwald and Holtzheim have already decided to ban Crit'Air 2 in 2028; the other communes decide by 2027.

A Crit'Air sticker is compulsory for every vehicle in the zone, including occasional and foreign drivers. A German Umweltplakette does not count. Order only at certificat-air.gouv.fr: EUR 5.11 when delivered abroad (so not free).

Pass ZFE 24h: 24 consecutive hours, up to 24 times a year, for vehicles without another exemption. Register the vehicle first on derogations-zfe.strasbourg.eu, then request each use there (helpline 03 68 98 51 21).

Before you leave: 1) Look at your vehicle registration certificate: fuel, Euro norm and first registration date are listed there and determine your Crit'Air class. 2) Order the sticker at certificat-air.gouv.fr (EUR 5.11 delivered abroad) and allow for delivery time. 3) Stick it on the windscreen. Only classes 0 to 3 can currently drive in the zone without being banned.

Warning: use only the official site. The official FAQ warns of fraudulent sites and paid intermediaries. A German Umweltplakette does not replace the Crit'Air sticker.

If your car is Crit'Air 4, 5 or unclassified, or you have no sticker, do not drive into the zone. The Pass ZFE 24h (24 hours, up to 24 times a year) exists for vehicles without another exemption: register the vehicle first on derogations-zfe.strasbourg.eu.

Simple alternative: take the train to Strasbourg station, or park in Kehl (Germany) and take tram D. Check tram D service and parking in Kehl before you go. Official details: strasbourg.eu/la-zfe-m.
