PositiveImpact Dynamic toll pricing could incentivize off-peak travel, potentially resulting in significantly lower congestion on the A1 motorway. This would lead to reduced vehicle emissions and better air quality for communities along the corridor. It may also contribute to shifting public perception towards valuing sustainable transport options, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility in future generations.

NegativeImpact However, dynamic toll pricing might disproportionately affect lower-income workers who cannot afford to pay higher tolls during peak hours, resulting in increased financial burdens and social inequality. Moreover, it could lead to induced demand, where additional trips are taken because of improved congestion, which can ironically lead to higher overall emissions. This approach does not directly create new sustainable public transport options.
