Talk:Clean Air Zone

Incorrect information on "additional Bristol diesel ban"
The information in the table about Bristol's forthcoming Clean Air Zone is incorrect. The "additional diesel vehicle ban in parts of city centre between 07:00 and 15:00." is not part of the latest proposals for the Clean Air Zone which are detailed on the Clean Air Zone pages on the Bristol City Council website.

Merger proposal
I propose to merge Low-emission zone into Clean Air Zone because "Clean Air Zone" seems to be the modern term in English for all 3 of LEZ, ULEZ and ZEZ. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:49, 4 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Oppose "Low emission zone" has about double the number of results on Google compared to "clean air zone". If the articles are merged, it should be the other way round: this article should be merged into Low-emission zone. --Ita140188 (talk) 07:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I definitely agree the articles should be merged, but weakly agree that "Low-emission zone" is the more used term. Bellowhead678 (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
 * But in future there will surely be more ZEZ like Oxford https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-58501791 so the title of this article also covers those. And Ireland has the most native English speakers in the EU and the term has been used for Dublin https://airqualitynews.com/2019/07/25/no2-warning-for-dublin-could-lead-to-clean-air-zone/ Perhaps USA will make some soon?

 * Oppose and agree that merging, if it happens, should be the other way round: They are generally regarded as synonyms (and I think would be by most "ordinary", Wikipedia-level readers. However, they are different. "Clean-air zone" implies the air is clean, which is almost certainly inaccurate for any urban area: the air won't be "clean" and might not even meet guideline air quality levels. In London, for example, it would be misleading to refer to the ULEZ as a clean-air zone: the air is not clean even though vehicles are "encouraged" to be low-emission by a charging regime. So low-emission zone is the more accurate term. 45154james (talk) 10:00, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
