I was away in Glasgow for a few days. Came into glasgow from the east heading west. I was heading to west end so was thinking hmmmmmm since my 2013 C class aint euro6 I will have to plan some little diversions to stay outa the ulez zone. So I thought surely to god I can come off the M8 at the expressway exit (A814) which means jumping off at that exit driving literally rght at the bottom of Argyle street and simply turning right onto the expressway at the bottom of the hill. Anyway thats what I done almost 3 weeks ago. No fine letter as of yet. But on the ULEZ map it shows that it is right on the borderlne of the ULEZ zone. Appears to be on the outside of the border. Yes there are ULEZ signs at every exit that tells you when you are entering a ULEZ zone. They go from the Royal infirmary cut-off all the way round to across the bridge at Tradeston cut-off. I think even tho it sais on the sign ULEZ zone. It is permitted when driving west on the M8 to come off at the A814 and your NOT IN THE ULEZ ZONE.
This is such a major route going from a motorway straight onto an expressway. All of approx 300/400 yards between the exit from motorway onto the expressway heading west. Ive looked online everywhere and even when I was down there I asked a taxi driver and he said AYE i had entered the zone and would get fined. I think there are seriously grey areas with some of them routes. Even some of the taxi drivers dont have a bloody clue.
Can you stop exiting a motorway to simply go onto an expressway just because you are at the borderline of the ULEZ at the bottom of argyle street there? Yeah yeah there are signs about saying exit will enter Ulez zone but some exits do not appear to instantly be into a ULEZ zone when exiting at the 2 exits heading west OFF the M8.
Point of my post this exiting off the M8 in glasgow to head west is surely a major major route MORE SO considering the charing cross exit is closed due to on going maintenance the now.
Anybody from Glasgow area got any input on this? This post isnt about anything other than the confusion on the simple route at 2 exits heading west off the M8.
