congestion pricing models

Congestion pricing models charge drivers fees based on how busy roads are at specific times, aiming to reduce traffic and improve travel times. During peak hours, prices are higher to discourage unnecessary trips and encourage carpooling or public transit. Off-peak times have lower or no fees, motivating travelers to shift their travel to less busy periods. This system helps manage road congestion, reduces pollution, and funds transportation infrastructure. It’s a practical approach to balance road usage and improve overall traffic flow by making drivers consider their travel timing and costs.
