From comment in the source they are not flock and at least officially intended for tracking who is going through the low pollution zones and which of them have vehicles that don’t qualify to be there.
Some decades ago or so in bc/canada we had aircare and it went something along the lines of you brought your car in to be tested for emissions and cars that were too shit were just deemed not road worthy but some fuckass politicians managed to get rid of it easily with high support from drivers who hate any minor personal inconveniences. I’d happily go in for the testing if it was still a thing. Car manufacturers don’t even have to try to make a safe product and every city just smells like car exhaust.

From comment in the source they are not flock and at least officially intended for tracking who is going through the low pollution zones and which of them have vehicles that don’t qualify to be there. There’s a much simpler and less intrusive way to accomplish that: just put up bollards to exclude all automobiles and only allow bicyclesa and pedestrians.
