Environmentally PlaquesEnvironmentally plaques are stickers for our cars. It shows which pollutant group a car has. In Germany there are 3 different groups with different colors: Red, yellow and green.The red one means, that your car don’t have a particulate filter and your car is old. So it isn’t healthy for the environment.The Yellow one means, that you have newer car, but without a filter too but it‘sbetter than a red one.And the green one means that your car has a regulated catalyst, which is the best for the environment, or a good filter. In most of the German cities are signs which show what color you plaques must have. If you don’t have the right plaque, you can’t drive into the zone. If you do it nevertheless, you have to pay 40€
