Aachen: no driving bans (for the time being)
Aachen has avoided in extremis a driving ban. In its decision, the North Rhine-Westphalian Higher Regional Court described the air pollution control plan of the old imperial city as illegal and demanded a revision of the plan in the aftermath. However, an appeal against the ruling could be lodged with the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig, according to the presiding judge Max-Jürgen Seibert.
