Municipality of Leiden: apply for an exemption to access to a low emission zone

Do you want to enter the environmental zone of Leiden with your truck and do you not meet the requirements? Apply for an exemption.

The Leiden environmental zone is the area within the canals and the eastern part of the Morsweg.
