Strasbourg ZFE Crit'Air rules, hours, fines and park and ride

A foreign plate orders the Crit'Air sticker online only, on certificat-air.gouv.fr. Sent to an address in France, it costs €3.85 and does not expire. The Strasbourg Eurometropole ZFE applies 7 days a week and 24 hours a day, across the whole territory except four through-roads. Today a Crit'Air 4, 5 or unclassified vehicle does not enter. A Crit'Air 3 does enter: the ban that applies to it is published for January 2027, and it is not in force.

    A route that avoids the zone

    Amanda warns you before the zone and guides you to your arrival.

    Outline from open data, for guidance only. The signs on site always prevail.

    01

    Where the car has to stop

    The zone covers the whole territory, all the time. Four through-roads stay outside: the A4 and the A35 north of the Vendenheim junction, the M35 as far as junction 10 at Geispolsheim, and the M353.

    The zone covers cars, vans, lorries, buses and motorcycles. A Crit'Air 4 or 5 that leaves the motorway for a street of the Eurometropole enters the ban.

    02

    What your sticker allows today

    Today a Crit'Air 0, 1, 2 or 3 enters. A Crit'Air 4 has been banned since January 2024. A Crit'Air 5 or unclassified vehicle has been banned since January 2023. January 2025 added no new ban.

    The published calendar places the Crit'Air 3 ban in January 2027. Four communes, Strasbourg, Schiltigheim, Ostwald and Holtzheim, have decided to ban Crit'Air 2 in 2028. The others must decide by 2027. The 2024 and 2026 air assessments can still move those steps. You are not, today, under the 2027 ban.

    Crit'Air 0 (electric), 1, 2, 3Allowed today
    Crit'Air 4Banned since January 2024
    Crit'Air 5, unclassifiedBanned since January 2023
    Crit'Air 3Not banned today. Published calendar: January 2027.
    03

    When a fine can be issued

    A Crit'Air 4, a Crit'Air 5 or an unclassified car that enters can receive the fine: those stickers are already banned. The page does not state the amount.

    Without a sticker on the windscreen, a fine can also be issued.

    Before each ban, the page provides a year of checks that remind you of the rule. That year does not cover a sticker that is already banned, and it does not cover a missing sticker. Do not treat it as a general exemption.

    04

    The 2028 proposal is not the rule

    A study file attached to the page proposes moving the Crit'Air 3 ban from 1 January 2027 to 1 January 2028. That proposal has not replaced the published calendar.

    You enter today with a Crit'Air 3. Do not plan the trip as if January 2027 were already here, and do not plan it on 1 January 2028 either.

    05

    A car just passing through

    The page speaks to private drivers and to businesses, with no separate rule for a visiting plate. The sticker decides.

    If the car is Crit'Air 4, 5 or unclassified, stay on the four roads outside the zone or leave it before you enter a street of the Eurometropole.

    Where to park outside the centre

    A park and ride keeps the car out of the city and gives you the tram and bus.

    Park and ride

    A park-and-ride keeps the car outside the zone and connects you to the tram and bus. Check the ticket and the hours on cts-strasbourg.eu. They are not restated here.

    Frequently asked questions

    Yes. On 8 November 2026 a Crit'Air 3 is not banned. The published calendar places that ban in January 2027. A study file proposes 1 January 2028: that is not the rule, and you do not bring your trip forward to that date.
