Abstract

Congestion pricing means that where congestion is critical, road tolls should be set up and differentiated according to travel times, routes or areas, vehicle type and so on. Electronic technology today makes this differentiation easier to implement. Real-world congestion pricing schemes are various, according to their geography (corridor, cordon, or area), operating hours, and rate structure. Successful schemes in Singapore, London, Stockholm, and the United States are described. These schemes are effective in improving traffic conditions, the environment and quality of life in these places, and improve the welfare community. However, other cities trying to implement such schemes face a high public opposition. Basic conditions favoring implementation are set out.
