When it comes to paying the charge for driving into Sheffield's Clean Air Zone (CAZ) don't get caught out by bogus payment portals. There’s only one way to pay your CAZ charge, and that's via the government's payment system.
If you forget to pay ahead of your journey, you have up to six days after you have entered the zone to pay.
Learn more and view the CAZ boundary map online.
