PositiveImpact Implementing congestion pricing could lead to a significant reduction in vehicle emissions across the A1 motorway as fewer cars are encouraged to travel during peak hours. This could result in a long-term improvement in air quality, leading to better public health outcomes for current and future generations. Revenue generated from congestion pricing could also be reinvested into public transport enhancements, making sustainable transport options more viable for daily commuters.

NegativeImpact There is a risk that congestion pricing may disproportionately affect lower-income workers who rely on cars for commuting, potentially exacerbating socioeconomic disparities. Additionally, if not calibrated correctly, it could lead to increased traffic on alternate routes resulting in localized congestion and pollution. Finally, if the generated revenues are not efficiently utilized for sustainable transportation solutions, it could lead to wasted resources and exacerbate rather than alleviate the current transport issues.
