I support the general principle of road pricing, for reasons that I have explained in previous posts - but that does not mean that I would necessarily support any road pricing scheme, however designed.

Quote:quote:Road pricing could be targeted at congested areas. However, the government is considering introducing it as a national thing. Therefore it will also affect roads that are not congested albeit on a lower price band.It's true that they are considering that - but they are also considering other options, including targeted schemes, and as far as I understand it they have not got a preferred option yet. A lot of the opposition appears to be based on 'worst-case scenario' assumptions.
