Glasgow City Council says 2,922 fines were issued in the first month of the zone's operation.
Nearly 3,000 drivers were fined for breaching Glasgow's low emission zone in the first month of its operation, new figures show.The LEZ was brought in to try to tackle air pollution in the city centre.
Non-compliant cars and light goods vehicles faced fines of up to £480 per day for repeated breaches of the new rules, with penalties of up to £960 for buses and HGVs.However, the council said no vehicle had received more than one penalty charge notice in June "to allow for a period of familiarisation". Surcharging has now been introduced, it added.
"While up to 90% of vehicles currently entering the city centre will be unaffected, LEZ standards will address the most polluting vehicles which are disproportionately creating the harmful concentrations of air pollution in the city centre," she added.
