Incorrect information on "additional Bristol diesel ban"[edit]

The information in the table about Bristol's forthcoming Clean Air Zone is incorrect. The "additional diesel vehicle ban in parts of city centre between 07:00 and 15:00." is not part of the latest proposals for the Clean Air Zone which are detailed on the Clean Air Zone pages on the Bristol City Council website^[1].

Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result of this discussion was no consensus. Chidgk1 (talk) 14:10, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Low-emission zone into Clean Air Zone because "Clean Air Zone" seems to be the modern term in English for all 3 of LEZ, ULEZ and ZEZ. Chidgk1 (talk) 16:49, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose "Low emission zone" has about double the number of results on Google compared to "clean air zone". If the articles are merged, it should be the other way round: this article should be merged into Low-emission zone. --Ita140188 (talk) 07:04, 6 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I definitely agree the articles should be merged, but weakly agree that "Low-emission zone" is the more used term. Bellowhead678 (talk) 20:44, 8 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
But in future there will surely be more ZEZ like Oxford https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-58501791 so the title of this article also covers those. And Ireland has the most native English speakers in the EU and the term has been used for Dublin https://airqualitynews.com/2019/07/25/no2-warning-for-dublin-could-lead-to-clean-air-zone/ Perhaps USA will make some soon?

Oppose and agree that merging, if it happens, should be the other way round: They are generally regarded as synonyms (and I think would be by most "ordinary", Wikipedia-level readers. However, they are different. "Clean-air zone" implies the air is clean, which is almost certainly inaccurate for any urban area: the air won't be "clean" and might not even meet guideline air quality levels. In London, for example, it would be misleading to refer to the ULEZ as a clean-air zone: the air is not clean even though vehicles are "encouraged" to be low-emission by a charging regime. So low-emission zone is the more accurate term. 45154james (talk) 10:00, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
