- Description
- The proposed congestion pricing alternative, while potentially effective in reducing peak hour traffic, faces significant challenges that undermine its viability as a long-term solution for congestion along the A1 motorway. First, there's a risk it could inadvertently disadvantage low-income workers who may not be able to afford the fees, amplifying social inequality. Second, without robust public transport enhancements, dependence on cars might not decrease as desired, leading to a lack of significant long-term impact. Third, if the pricing strategy fails to convince a critical mass of drivers to change their behavior, it may not achieve the expected reductions in traffic. Overall, evaluating against other alternatives, it ranks poorly due to its potential to exacerbate socio-economic disparities and its reliance on individual behavior change, which can be notoriously difficult to achieve consistently.
