Increasing traffic causes not only communication difficulties, but also contributes to increasing air pollution and increasing noise levels. In an urban environment it is quite cumbersome, compact buildings, sometimes the proximity of industrial plants, contributes to the intensification of this phenomenon. By establishing a paid entry to selected areas, thus introducing zones covering the district, center or the whole city, it is possible to significantly influence the quality of the transport network in this area. The paper analyzes the EU regulations regarding emission limit values for vehicles sold in its area. There are also discussed threats resulting from excessive traffic in the city, such as air pollution, on the example of the city of Warsaw. The effects of excessive air pollution are also presented. The paper presents the concept of a system of paid entry to the city, based on the example of the Warsaw district of Śródmieście. The logical architecture of the system is presented, as well as an example of the arrangement of devices in one of the entrance points to the zone, using the existing infrastructure for this purpose.
