When you want to reduce traffic entering city centres, it's important to try a combination of measures. These can be broadly divided into 2: the 'carrots' and the 'sticks'...One carrot is the CONGESTION CHARGE.
This has been introduced in London. The edge of the zone is marked by large letter 'C's painted onto the roads, and plenty of signs...
The 5th annual report on the impact of the congestion charge was released last week, and can be downloaded by following the link. This looks at the longer term impact of the introduction of the charge.
We will be doing some work on this, and this will form part of your summer task that I will post later.....
For more congestion charging materials, see the GeographyPages page.
