Glasgow's Low Emission Zone is just a week away from being enforced in the city centre.
The move to reduce levels of harmful vehicle emissions will come into force on June 1 after which all vehicles entering the zone (LEZ) area will need to meet less-polluting emissions standards or face a penalty charge.
The LEZ will cover a large part of the city centre with drivers warned through signage when entering.

Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras will be used to monitor vehicles driving into Glasgow’s LEZ which will be in operation 24/7.
The initial penalty charge for all non-compliant vehicles entering a Low Emission Zone in Scotland will be £60 - reduced by 50% if paid within 14 days.
Penalty rates double for repeated entries up to a maximum of £480 for cars and £960 for buses and HGVs.
Motorcycles and mopeds are unaffected by LEZ schemes in Scotland while blue badge holders will be able to register for a long-term or short-term exemption to drive in a LEZ.
If the journey is a one-off or irregular visit to a LEZ, blue badge holders will be able to register for a short-term exemption to cover their travel. The exemption applies to any vehicle whether the blue badge holder is the driver or the passenger.
Emergency vehicles, vehicles being used for naval, military or air force purposes, historic vehicles and showman vehicles are also exempt.
Zone residents have been extra time to comply with enforcement for vehicles registered to residential property within the zone area not starting until 1 June 2024.
