Katowice’s city council has approved work on drawing up a Strefa Czystego Transportu, but the zone itself is not yet in force, so no restriction currently applies. Once it launches, the plan on file would run 24/7 and exempt Euro 5+ petrol, Euro 6 diesel, electric and hybrid vehicles, with entry decided by number-plate rather than a sticker. Until an official start date is confirmed, no plate check and no fine apply to any vehicle driving through Katowice.
