Driving tips for Glasgow

If you're reading this, you're probably from Glasgow or heading there in the car sometime soon. In this case, you might already know that the city centre is a little unusual in its road makeup. It's laid out in a grid system,much like many newer cities stateside.

And although the hills can make it hard work on foot, especially around the Blysthewood area, it becomes a 'doddle' when in the car, and you have the hang of the one-way streets.

Glasgow's Clean Air Driving Zones

From the 1st of June 2023, Glasgow will launch its first Low Emission Zone. At a minimum, this will require petrol cars to meet the Euro 4 standard and Diesel cars to meet the Euro 6 standard to enter. You cannot pay to enter the zone if your vehicle doesn't meet the criteria, meaning that you will be fined £60 as a minimum. For more information on Glasgow's LEZ tap this link.
