Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead 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 Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
An immobiliser is a security device that prevents a vehicle from starting without the correct key fob. It usually disables two of the following: the fuel system, ignition or starter motor.
If you're having trouble unlocking or starting your car, you can't turn the car key, or the alarm is going off, you may need to call a car immobiliser specialist. However, check the battery in your key fob first, especially if you can't lock/unlock your car, as this is the most common cause of immobiliser issues.
Other potential causes include damaged wiring, faulty actuators or sensors, damaged receiver rings, and a faulty ECU, all of which require a car immobiliser fault repair.
Fortunately, car locksmiths usually offer mobile immobiliser repair, so you don't need to go to a garage, and they can add or remove keys from the immobiliser system if there is a problem with the coding.
