PositiveImpact Congestion pricing could lead to a substantial reduction in traffic congestion on the A1 motorway, encouraging sustainable transport behaviors among drivers. This approach can generate revenue that may be reinvested into public transportation systems, providing quality improvements and reducing overall transportation emissions. Through incentivizing carpooling, the program could foster a sense of community and collaboration among motorists, leading to further reductions in vehicle emissions and travel times. Thus, future generations may benefit from cleaner air and more efficient transport.

NegativeImpact The potential for equity concerns arises with congestion pricing, as lower-income individuals may struggle to pay the fees during peak hours. This might inadvertently result in social inequalities, where only higher-income individuals can afford to drive during peak times. Furthermore, unless properly managed, the implementation could lead to a diversion of traffic to alternate routes, negatively impacting areas that were previously less congested. These factors could contribute to a net negative impact on traffic patterns in the long term, disenfranchising certain populations.
