PositiveImpact Dynamic toll pricing could lead to lower emissions from vehicles during peak hours, as it encourages off-peak travel and thereby reduces overall traffic congestion. Over 30 years, this could contribute to a gradual improvement in air quality, benefiting not only current but also future generations, lowering health risks associated with air pollution such as respiratory diseases and improving overall quality of life.

NegativeImpact While dynamic toll pricing aims to reduce congestion, it can disproportionately affect lower-income workers who may rely on the motorway for commuting. This may lead to increased economic strain, as these individuals might be unable to afford the variable tolls during peak times. Moreover, if not managed properly, it can promote road rage and increased stress among commuters, which could contribute to mental health issues over time.
