I agree that is not great but in some places for example in Barcelona have a similar thing, they have exceptions for the low income people or some other situations.

There are low emissions zones in many cities. I've paid for a sticker for Berlin (no, I don't take my car into Berlin, but I do use the ring road).

Indeed, but I've been to Barcelona a few times and never noticed this kind of zones
