In order to reduce harmful levels for air pollution in the city's air, Bristol City Council introduced a Clean Air Zone.
The Bristol CAZ means that all drivers of older, more polluting vehicles need to pay a daily charge to enter the zone.
Around 25% of vehicles driving in the zone are affected meaning around 75,000 drivers will need to pay the charge each day.
