Weekend driving ban may be necessary to meet ‘net zero’ targets, Germany’s transport minister warns citizens


Unless Germany changes its “net zero” pollution goals, drivers will soon have to face restrictive measures such as being banned from driving on certain days of the week.

In a letter to parliamentary group leaders last week, Germany’s transport minister warned that a weekend driving ban could be an example of what would have to be implemented to reach the net zero targets.

“A corresponding reduction in traffic performance would only be possible through restrictive measures that are difficult to communicate to the population, such as nationwide and indefinite driving bans on Saturdays and Sundays,” Volker Wissing wrote, according to The Telegraph.
