- Description
- Congestion pricing aims to address the rampant congestion on the A1 motorway by charging fees during peak times, which could effectively reduce traffic volumes and thereby lower emissions. However, its success hinges on effective communication, public acceptance, and the establishment of substantial public transport alternatives to ensure it does not negatively impact those unable to afford the fees. Compared to alternatives like Smart Traffic Management Systems or Integrated Public Transport Enhancement, congestion pricing presents a mixed bag—good potential for emissions reduction and technological advancement but also risks exacerbating social inequalities if not designed with caution.
