PositiveImpact Dynamic toll pricing could lead to a more efficient use of existing infrastructure, potentially resulting in lower operational costs for businesses relying on the A1 motorway. This efficiency may attract new businesses and promote local employment growth, particularly in service industries that support commuting workers. If managed well, the revenue from tolls could also be reinvested in local infrastructure, providing a long-term benefit to future generations.

NegativeImpact Dynamic toll pricing risks exacerbating inequality by disproportionately affecting lower-income commuters who might not afford the fluctuating tolls, further driving a wedge between socioeconomic classes. The system could discourage some commuters from using the motorway altogether, causing them to face longer and more challenging alternate routes, worsening their overall travel experience and access to employment opportunities. Moreover, it may create a dependency on a toll-based revenue model that shifts focus from sustainable transport solutions.
