A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) in Portsmouth - on the route to the Wightlink ferry terminal - is due to go live later this year and cameras will start to go up from April.
Private cars will not be charged under the scheme - which means most holidaymakers and Islanders catching the cross-Solent ferry will be exempt.

Some HGVs, buses and coaches will pay £50 per day, however, while some taxis and private hire vehicles will pay £10 per day, when the scheme goes live.
The charges for travelling within the zone will be issued automatically and drivers will only be charged once per day.
At the moment, there are no plans to include vans among the chargeable vehicles, however Portsmouth City Council has warned that could change.
It said: "We’re not currently proposing to charge vans.
"However, due to the uncertainty brought about by coronavirus, central government has indicated they may require the charging of vans, to meet air quality objectives."
Vehicles that will be charged are heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches, taxis and Private Hire Vehicles that do not meet Euro 6 emissions standards (Euro 5 or older, if they are diesel) or do not meet Euro 4 emissions standards (Euro 3 or older, if they are petrol).
From April until September, a contractor for the city's council will put up the monitoring cameras that will be used to enforce the clean air zone.
They will recognise number plates and will be installed at 39 locations.
Portsmouth City Council was ear-marked by the government, among 60 local authorities, as needing to tackle air pollution.
Its Clean Air Zone will go live in November.
