PositiveImpact The implementation of dynamic toll pricing could lead to a significant reduction in traffic congestion, which in turn correlates with decreased vehicle emissions. By incentivizing off-peak travel, it can change driving behavior, potentially allowing for cleaner air in urban environments. The financial aspect of toll revenues could be redirected towards sustainable transport initiatives, enhancing public transport and promoting electric vehicles, resulting in long-term emissions savings.

NegativeImpact However, dynamic toll pricing could disproportionately affect lower-income commuters who rely heavily on the motorway, leading to increased inequities. This may not visibly reduce emissions if low-income individuals are unable to pay the new tolls and continue using their cars during peak hours. Such financial barriers could discourage necessary shifts to public transport or alternative transport modes, perpetuating reliance on polluting vehicles.
