Motorcycle tolls and environmental zones: what to check before you go

Brussels LEZ includes motorcycles

Petrol Euro 2 motorcycles no longer meet Brussels LEZ criteria from 1 January 2026. Foreign bikes must register, except compliant Netherlands-registered bikes. Registration does not grant access to a non-compliant motorcycle.

Effective from

Motorcycles do not need an emissions sticker

Germany’s environmental-zone regulation exempts two- and three-wheeled motor vehicles from its emissions-sticker requirement. Road signs for motorcycle bans, closures and other access restrictions remain binding.

Use the motorcycle Crit’Air class

Motorcycles and scooters are included in Crit’Air. Classify the bike using its vehicle type, fuel and Euro standard or first-registration date. Foreign-registered vehicles apply online through the official issuing service; each zone sets the admitted classes and operating times.

French motorway toll class 5

Motorcycles, sidecars and motor tricycles use class 5 in France’s published motorway toll classification. This is separate from the bike’s Crit’Air emissions class.

Motorcycle vignette category A

Single-track motorcycles use class 1 on Slovenia’s vignette-covered roads. Match the registration country, plate, class and validity to the bike. Former H5/H6 coastal roads are outside the light-vehicle vignette network from 1 January 2026 until the Koper–Dragonja expressway is completed.

No Czech motorcycle vignette

Motorcycles are exempt from Czechia’s electronic-vignette obligation, so do not buy a car vignette for an ordinary motorcycle journey.
