congestion charging zones

Congestion charging zones are designated areas within a city where drivers must pay a fee to enter during busy times. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and encourage the use of public transport or other sustainable travel options. The fees are typically highest during peak hours and vary depending on the vehicle type and time of day. This system helps manage city traffic flow efficiently, making urban travel smoother and cleaner for residents, visitors, and local businesses.
