The ZFE mainly covers Toulouse and the outskirts of Tournefeuille and Colomiers; its boundaries are the Périphérique to the east, south and north, and the Rocade Arc-en-Ciel and RD901/A621 to the west. Since 2024, vehicles with Crit'Air 3 and worse have been banned; the same rules apply to vans and lorries. The Arrêté, issued for 10 years, does not provide for any further tightening.

Lorries over 7.5 tonnes may not drive in France from Saturday 10 pm to Sunday 10 pm, or from 10 pm on the eve of a public holiday until 10 pm on the holiday itself. In 2026, additional driving bans apply on Saturdays 11, 18 and 25 July and 1 and 8 August, each from 7 am to 7 pm. (Source: bison-fute.gouv.fr)
