Iyini indawo yomoya ehlanzekile?

I-Clean Air Zone, I-Ultra Low Emissions Zone, Zero Emissions Zone—zinamagama amaningi, futhi kungenzeka ukuthi elilodwa lawo selivele liyasebenza noma liyeza maduze edolobheni eliseduze nawe. Zenzelwe ukuthuthukisa izinga lomoya wasemadolobheni ngokuvimbela izimoto ezinokungcola okuphezulu ukuthi zingangeni. Ukuze benze lokhu, bakhokhisa imali yansuku zonke kumnikazi wemoto, noma, njengoba benza eScotland, bakhokhise inhlawulo yokungena kubo. 

Eziningi zalezi zindawo zigcinelwe amabhasi, amatekisi namaloli, kodwa ezinye zigcinelwe izimoto ezinezinga eliphezulu lokungcola, okuhlanganisa nezinhlobo ezintsha zikadizili. Nansi inkomba yethu lapho kukhona izindawo zomoya ohlanzekile, izimoto ezikukhokhisa ukuze ungene kuzo; zingakanani lezi zimali futhi ungakhululwa.

Iyini indawo yomoya ehlanzekile?

Indawo yomoya ehlanzekile iyindawo engaphakathi kwedolobha lapho izinga lokungcola liphakeme kakhulu, futhi kukhokhelwa indawo yokungena ezimotweni ezinamazinga aphezulu okukhipha umoya. Ngokukhokhisa izimali, iziphathimandla zendawo zithemba ukukhuthaza abashayeli ukuthi bashintshele ezimotweni ezingangcolisi kangako, bahambe ngezinyawo, bagibele amabhayisikili noma basebenzise izithuthi zomphakathi. 

Kunezigaba ezine zezindawo zomoya ohlanzekile. Amakilasi A, B kanye no-C awezimoto zezentengiselwano nezabagibeli. I-Class D yilona elibanzi futhi lihlanganisa izimoto zabagibeli. Izindawo eziningi ziyi-class D. 

Uzokwazi uma usuzongena endaweni yomoya ohlanzekile ngenxa yezimpawu zethrafikhi ezigqamile. Bangase babe nesithombe sekhamera kubo ukuze bakukhumbuze ukuthi amakhamera asetshenziselwa ukukhomba imoto ngayinye engena endaweni nokuthi kufanele ishajwe yini.

Iyini indawo yokukhipha umoya ophansi kakhulu?

Eyaziwa ngokuthi i-ULEZ, lena i-Clean Air Zone yaseLondon. Ijwayele ukumboza indawo efanayo ne-Metropolitan Congestion Charging Area, kodwa kusukela ekupheleni kuka-2021, iye yanda ukuze ihlanganise le ndawo, kodwa ingafaki, umgwaqo oyiNorth Circular kanye noSouth Circular Road. Izimoto ezingahlangabezani nezindinganiso zokukhishwa kwe-ULEZ zingaphansi kokubili kwenkokhelo ye-ULEZ engu-£12.50 ngosuku kanye nemali yokuminyana engu-£15.

Kungani sidinga izindawo zomoya ezihlanzekile?

Ukungcoliswa komoya kuthathwa njengembangela enkulu yesifo senhliziyo namaphaphu, unhlangothi nomdlavuza. Kuyingxube eyinkimbinkimbi yezinhlayiya namagesi, enezinhlayiya ze-particle kanye ne-nitrogen dioxide okuyizingxenye eziyinhloko zokukhishwa kwezimoto.

Idatha evela kuTransport For London ikhombisa ukuthi ingxenye yokungcoliswa komoya eLondon kudalwa ukugcwala kwemigwaqo. Njengengxenye yesu lakhe lomoya ohlanzekile, uhulumeni wase-UK ubeke imingcele yokungcoliswa kwezinhlayiyana futhi ukhuthaza ukwakhiwa kwezindawo zomoya ohlanzekile.

Zingaki izindawo zomoya ohlanzekile ezikhona futhi zitholakala kuphi?

E-UK, izindawo eziyi-14 sezivele zisebenza noma okulindeleke ukuthi zisebenze maduze nje. Eziningi zalezi zindawo zesigaba D, lapho kukhokhiswa khona ezinye izimoto, amabhasi, nezimoto zezentengiselwano, kodwa ezinhlanu ziyisigaba B noma C, lapho izimoto zingakhokhiswa khona.  

Kusukela ngoDisemba 2021, izindawo zomoya ohlanzekile yilezi:

I-Sauna (Ikilasi C, iyasebenza) 

I-Birmingham (Ikilasi D, elisebenzayo) 

I-Bradford (Ikilasi C, yethulwa kulindeleke ngoJanuwari 2022)

I-Bristol (Ikilasi D, Juni 2022)

I-London (Ikilasi D ULEZ, elisebenzayo)

I-Manchester (Ikilasi C, 30 Meyi 2022)

I-Newcastle (Ikilasi C, Julayi 2022)

I-Sheffield (Ikilasi C ekupheleni kuka-2022)

I-Oxford (Ikilasi D Feb 2022)

I-Portsmouth (Ikilasi B, iyasebenza)

I-Glasgow (Ikilasi D, 1 Juni 2023)

I-Dundee (Ikilasi D, 30 Meyi 2022, kodwa ayisebenzi kuze kube umhla zingama-30 kuNhlaba 2024)

I-Aberdeen (Ikilasi D, Intwasahlobo ka-2022, kodwa akukho singeniso kuze kube nguJuni 2024)

Edinburgh (Ikilasi D, 31 Meyi 2022)

Yiziphi izimoto okufanele uzikhokhe futhi yimalini imali ekhokhwayo?

Kuye ngedolobha, izinkokhelo zisukela ku-£2 ukuya ku-£12.50 ngosuku futhi zincike ezingeni elikhipha umoya wemoto. Lesi silinganiso se-exhaust emission yezimoto sadalwa yi-EU ngo-1970 kanti esokuqala sabizwa nge-Euro 1. Izinga ngalinye elisha le-Euro liqinile kunelangaphambilini futhi sesifinyelele ku-Euro 6. Izinga ngalinye le-Euro libeka imikhawulo ehlukene yokukhipha uphethiloli nodizili. izimoto ngenxa (imvamisa) yokukhishwa kwezinhlayiyana eziphezulu ezimotweni zikadizili. 

Ngokuvamile, i-Euro 4, eyethulwe ngoJanuwari 2005 kodwa okuyimpoqo kuzo zonke izimoto ezintsha ezibhaliswe kusukela ngoJanuwari 2006, iyindinganiso encane edingekayo ukuze imoto kaphethiloli ingene e-Class D Clean Air Zone naseLondon Ultra Low Emissions Zone ngaphandle kokukhokhiswa imali. 

Imoto kadizili kufanele ihambisane nezinga le-Euro 6, elisebenza kuzo zonke izimoto ezintsha ezibhaliswe kusukela ngo-September 2015, nakuba ezinye izimoto ezibhaliswe ngaphambi kwalolo suku nazo zithobela izinga le-Euro 6. Ungathola izinga lokukhipha umoya wemoto yakho ekubhalisweni kwe-V5C yemoto yakho. noma kusizindalwazi somkhiqizi wezimoto.

Ingabe ngidinga ukukhokha ukuze ngingene endaweni yomoya ohlanzekile ngemoto?

Ukuthola ukuthi imoto yakho izokhokhiswa yini ukungena endaweni yomoya ohlanzekile kulula ngoshekha kuwebhusayithi kahulumeni. Faka inombolo yokubhalisa yemoto yakho futhi izokunikeza impendulo elula ethi yebo noma cha. Iwebhusayithi ye-TFL inesheke elilula elifanayo elikwazisa uma udinga ukukhokha imali yaseLondon ULEZ.

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ayikho imali yokufinyelela eScotland. Esikhundleni salokho, izimoto ezingathobeli imithetho ezingena endaweni zingaphansi kwenhlawulo ka-£60.

Ingabe kukhona ukukhululwa ezindaweni zomoya ohlanzekile?

Ezindaweni zekilasi A, B kanye no-C, izimoto azikhokhiswa. Ezindaweni ze-Class D, izimoto ezinenjini kaphethiloli ezihlangabezana okungenani nezindinganiso ze-Euro 4 kanye nezimoto ezinenjini kadizili ezihlangabezana okungenani nezindinganiso ze-Euro 6 azikhokhi lutho. I-Oxford ihlukile ngomqondo wokuthi izimoto zikagesi zizodwa azikhokhi lutho, kuyilapho izimoto ezikhipha umoya omncane zikhokha u-£2. Emadolobheni amaningi, izithuthuthu nezimoto zomlando ezingaphezu kweminyaka engama-40 azikhokhi lutho.

Ngokuvamile kunezaphulelo kubantu abahlala endaweni, kubanikazi be-Blue Badge, kanye nezimoto zesigaba sentela ezikhubazekile, nakuba lokhu kungekona okomhlaba wonke, ngakho hlola ngaphambi kokungena. 

Zisebenza nini izindawo zomoya ohlanzekile futhi siyini inhlawulo yokungakhokhi?

Izindawo eziningi zivulwa amahora angama-24 ngosuku unyaka wonke ngaphandle kwamaholide omphakathi ngaphandle kukaKhisimusi. Kuya ngendawo, uma wehluleka ukukhokha imali, ungathola isaziso senhlawulo, e-London ebeka inhlawulo engu-£160 noma engu-£80 uma ukhokha zingakapheli izinsuku eziyi-14.

E-Scotland, izimoto ezingathobeli imithetho zikhokha inhlawulo ka-£60 ukuze zingene endaweni. Kunezinhlelo zokuphinda kabili lokho ngokwephulwa komthetho ngamunye olandelanayo.

Kuningi izimoto ezikhishwa kancane ongakhetha kukho e-Cazoo futhi manje ungathola imoto entsha noma esetshenzisiwe ngayo Ukubhalisa kukaKazu. Sebenzisa isici sethu sokusesha ukuze uthole imoto oyithandayo, uthenge noma ubhalise ku-inthanethi futhi ulethe emnyango wakho noma uyilande endaweni eseduze nawe. Isikhungo Senkonzo Yamakhasimende saseCazoo.

Sihlala sibuyekeza futhi sandisa ububanzi bethu. Uma ufuna ukuthenga imoto esetshenzisiwe futhi ungayitholi elungile namuhla, kulula setha izexwayiso zokuphromotha ukuba ngowokuqala ukwazi uma sinezimoto ezihambisana nezidingo zakho.
