Road pricing, traffic congestion and the environment

Abstract

Various authors` works are drawn together in this book to explore historical and contemporaneous issues related to road pricing, as a means of easing traffic congestion and reducing atmospheric pollution from road transport. The need for energy efficiency as well as political and social pressure have led policy-makers away from road construction to meet all traffic growth towards traffic management. Despite having been suggested eighty years ago by Arthur Pigou, traffic management through road pricing stands up to analysis today, and should be put into practice. (UK)
