Stockholm Congestion Tax

The Stockholm Congestion Tax is a fee charged to vehicles entering and passing through central Stockholm during peak hours to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and encourage alternative transport. The system automatically detects vehicles using cameras and registers their entry and exit points. Drivers pay the fee based on the time of day and vehicle type, with higher charges during busy periods. Exemptions exist for certain vehicles, such as emergency services or electric cars. The revenue generated helps fund transportation infrastructure and environmental initiatives, promoting smoother traffic flow and a cleaner city environment.
