Blue Badge scheme

Low emission Zone (LEZ) Exemption

Blue Badge holders are exempt from all Scottish Low Emission Zones.

A Low Emission Zone is an area where vehicles are only allowed to enter if they meet certain emissions rules.

Blue Badge holders can register their details so that the vehicle they are travelling in is recognised and allowed to enter all the Scottish LEZ. 

For information on LEZ, to check if your vehicle meets LEZ rules or to register for Blue Badge exemption go to Scotlands Low Emission Zones page.
