Variably priced tolling

Variably priced tolling is a road management strategy where toll rates change based on real-time traffic conditions. During peak hours, tolls may be higher to reduce congestion, encouraging drivers to travel at less busy times. Conversely, tolls might be lower during off-peak periods to manage traffic flow. This system aims to improve road efficiency, reduce traffic jams, and promote a more balanced use of roadways. By adjusting prices based on demand, it helps to optimize transportation resources while also providing drivers with choices about when to travel.
