Drivers will not be charged for entering Birmingham s new Clean Air Zone for the first two weeks, the city council has announced.
The scheme, covering the city centre and targeting high-polluting vehicles, was launched on Tuesday morning.
Some motorists reported problems as they tried to pay in advance for their journeys when the council announced its decision to delay seeking payment.
Councillor Waseem Zaffar said the delay would give drivers time to adjust .
