Google Maps "Z" symbol warns drivers of environmental zones

Google Maps users are now seeing a "Z" symbol within a blue circle, which alerts drivers to environmental zones and potential fines. This new symbol, visible when planning a route, indicates areas with environmental regulations. Tapping the symbol highlights the zone on the map and provides further information about the rules. This feature, currently available on mobile versions of Google Maps, helps drivers avoid penalties by informing them of restricted areas based on vehicle emissions.
