Road User Charging

Road User Charging is a system where drivers pay fees to use certain roads or areas, often to reduce congestion, fund infrastructure, or encourage the use of public transport. Charges can vary based on factors like time of day, vehicle type, and location. The goal is to manage traffic flow, reduce pollution, and enhance overall road safety. Implemented through toll booths or electronic systems, it aims to ensure that road maintenance and improvements are financially supported by those who use the roads. This approach promotes more efficient and responsible driving habits while benefiting the wider community.
