What is "congestion pricing"?
Congestion pricing is a system where drivers are charged fees to use certain roads during times of heavy traffic. The fees are typically higher during peak hours when traffic is busiest, and they are designed to reduce congestion by encouraging drivers to travel at different times or use alternative routes. The goal of congestion pricing is to improve traffic flow, reduce pollution, and raise funds for public transportation or road maintenance.

Some cities have implemented congestion pricing to encourage drivers to use public transport or drive during less busy hours.
Many supporters argue that congestion pricing could also reduce greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing the number of cars on the road.
