Environmental Protection Zone in Dortmund (Umweltzone)

The City of Dortmund introduced an Environmental Protection Zone (EPZ) with effect from 01.10.2008. This zone starts to the north of the A-road Bundesstrasse 1 and covers the city centre of Dortmund. As of 15.11.2008 any vehicles using this EPZ must be in possession of a corresponding sticker. Whilst the grounds of the Westfallenhallen do not constitute part of this EPZ, it may well be however, that you as an exhibitor or event organiser, etc. are affected by having to travel through it.
