‘. . . this book provides a comprehensive and timely discussion of the relationships between road pricing and congestion costs.’
– Brian Graham, Local Environment
‘. . . it is appropriate that the papers provide the most comprehensive coverage of the topic in one volume to date . . . there is a definite need for university libraries to purchase this key reference text. . .’
– Matthew Steele, Journal of Environmental Planning and Management
The majority of societies are facing a conflict between the increasing levels of road traffic congestion, especially during peak hours and in urban areas, and a decline in the social acceptability of road expansion. This has led governments as well as non-governmental organizations to consider other methods of reducing road traffic. This book examines the efficiency and feasibility of the regulation of road traffic congestion in theory and practice, and within the context of social and political feasibility.
