The publishers' own texts are on the German page.

Short-duration roadworks are planned at short notice and often changed; they replace neither a permit for oversize and heavy transport nor the route check before setting off (our translation of the publisher's note).

The publisher's wording is on the German page.

Low-emission zone

Ruhrgebiet: One continuous Ruhr low-emission zone across parts of Bochum, Bottrop, Castrop-Rauxel, Dortmund, Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Gladbeck, Herne, Herten, Mülheim, Oberhausen and Recklinghausen — its boundaries do not follow the city limits. Required: the green plaque (emission group 4). You can buy it at vehicle registration offices, TÜV/DEKRA/GTÜ/KÜS and approved garages on presentation of the vehicle registration document (part I).
