“…The Limited Availability Zone is a rational concept leading to reduction in congestion and carbon dioxide emission in city center, as demonstrated by numerous European experiences [18,19]. On the basis of the study, it can be concluded that it actually reduces the number of vehicles and ensures better utility of the truck load.…”

The purpose of the article is to identify the conditions for the implementation of deliveries in the Limited Accessibility Zone (LAZ) in Gdansk, based on interviews conducted among suppliers in October 2018. Another goal is to identify guidelines for the need to create a new transport policy for cities, which will be in line with sustainable urban logistics. The presented analysis is not an economic or technical analysis of an executive nature. It focuses on indicating the nature of the impact of factors conditioning further actions related to the discussed area. To define a sustainable urban logistics plan road map, the desk research method was used. It involved analyzing, verifying and merging existing data and information from the results of European projects. The paper can be used as a road map to proceed with planning urban logistics in the city and to create a document of Sustainable Urban Logistics Plan (SULP). This is the first study carried out in the LAZ of Gdansk since its introduction in 2014, therefore conclusions can be used by scientists and the creators of urban transport policy to create limited accessibility zones.

“…Wolff (2014) também sugere que as cidades que optaram por escolher outras medidas (excluindo a LEZ) não experimentaram nenhuma diminuição significativa na poluição do ar. Jiang et al (2017), em um estudo de medição sobre os impactos das LEZ, também apontam que a introdução das zonas, nas cidades alemãs, trouxeram efeitos positivos na redução das concentrações de poluentes atmosféricos. Ademais, o estudo avalia as zonas como positivas, considerando os seus impactos globais na composição e emissões da frota.…”

“…If no green sticker can be presented in a LEZ, the offender is fined V80 (Umweltplakette.de, 2018). German cities that have introduced LEZs show a positive effect on air quality (À17% for PM 10 , À0.3% for NO₂, À6.9% for NOx) although the potential of further reduction through additional LEZs seems to be small (Jiang et al, 2017). In the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan area however, including Cologne and Düsseldorf, as presented by the German Federal Ministry of Environment, the number of aging but still compliant diesel cars was stable between 2007 and 2013 with the introduction of LEZs (Umweltbundesamt, 2015b).…”

With scientific discoveries indicating a relationship between nitrogen oxides/particulate matter and cancers/heart disease, and the growing road transport sector in Western Europe, there is an increasing urgency to further reduce vehicle emissions. This comprises a large part of the total emissions in urban areas. In this article, we address the question of how various local policy instruments and technology can be used to support the use of clean road vehicles in urban areas. Despite some moderate success in specific areas, local policies and technology need to become even more effective. Using the STREAMS model, a comparative analysis is made of six urban cases in the Randstad and the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan areas. The study provides new insights into the dynamics between the perceived problems, policy making (in terms of the adoption of policy instruments), politics (in terms of the fit/misfit between stakeholders' interests, which may result in a window for policy change), and technology. The policy instruments examined include low emission zones, parking licence restrictions, and incentives to adopt electric vehicles. Policy recommendations are made regarding effective policy instruments for the reduction of harmful emissions in metropolitan areas. Implications for theory are also discussed.
