Congestion Charge

The Congestion Charge is a fee levied on drivers who travel within certain busy city areas during peak times. Its purpose is to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and encourage the use of public transportation. Drivers pay a set amount when entering the designated zone, which varies depending on the time and vehicle type. Revenue collected is often reinvested into transport infrastructure and services. This system helps manage excessive traffic, making urban travel more efficient and environmentally friendly.
