Tragedy of the commons. Waze could let people pay drivers to not use their road. The price can be determined by the market. Start at $0.50, only valid once per day in each direction.
- matt-attack 10y agoYes, some time ago, I had postulated this would happen. I see it as a new form of revenue for Waze.

- chongli 10y agoWhy should the locals have to pay? What we need is a system of license-plate-reading cameras with automated ticketing to bring up the enforcement of No Thru Traffic signs to near 100%. Then, if Waze routed a hundred cars through a neighbourhood they'd all end up paying $100 fines, bringing in a big stream of revenue to the city and discouraging the use of the app. Perhaps even more practical would be a law to allow the residents themselves to set up and maintain the system in exchange for a cut of the ticket revenue for their neighbourhood!
