Newcastle will introduce a Clean Air Zone toll that charges drivers of high polluting vehicles a toll to drive in parts of the city centre and on bridges to Gateshead.
But unlike London's congestion charge, motorists driving their own private vehicles in Newcastle City Centre will not have to pay a fee of £12.50 - £50 to drive in the Clean Air Zone.
"The Tyneside Clean Air Zone does not apply to cars (other than taxis/private hire vehicles) or motorbikes," reads the Clean Air Zone website created by Newcastle and Gateshead's councils."
