A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Salford to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Salford, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

Driving in cities like Salford puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic.
