PositiveImpact Implementing congestion pricing could significantly reduce the traffic volumes on the A1 motorway, resulting in lower emissions and improved air quality for urban areas. This would lead to healthier living conditions for future generations, foster a cleaner environment, and encourage sustainable transport practices. Funds raised from congestion fees could also be reinvested into public transportation infrastructure, which can create a more resilient transport network going forward.

NegativeImpact While congestion pricing may reduce the number of vehicles on the A1, it could disproportionately affect low-income drivers who may not have the flexibility to avoid peak times or pay additional fees. This may lead to increased inequities in transportation access and could create a reliance on a privatized payment system that may prioritize profits over public good. Furthermore, if congestion pricing does not significantly deter peak-hour travel, it may not effectively address the underlying congestion issues, leading to wasted funding.
