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.

Car rust and paint repair is sometimes a necessity for older vehicles and those that have previously been involved in a collision. There are several ways to remove rust, such as mechanical removal (which uses grinders, wire brushes, sand blasters and sandpaper) and acidic rust removal (which involves applying acid to the area). If the rust is minimal, you could attempt a rust spot repair at home; however, it's easy to cause more damage if you don't follow the proper steps. By comparison, a rusted car frame repair is much more complex. Extensive rust can compromise a vehicle's structural integrity, so it's best to let a professional repair it.One of the best ways of preventing rust, particularly on your vehicle's chassis, is to book a car underseal specialist who will apply a thick, resilient coating to the underbody, protecting it from stones and debris.
