Congestion pricing seems like a nice "free-market-ish" "capitalist" solution to traffic. If a road doesn't have enough capacity allocate that capacity to those willing to pay for it.
Now we are back to allocating capacity to those most willing to wait. Not sure that's actually better.
- Arnt 2y agoStreets need planning, like any network. We had one near me that was congested every day. It was solved by planning: one lane in each direction was turned into a bicycle lane. Lower car capacity, higher bicycle capacity, higher overall and a localish problem was relieved (the street formed a too-fat pipe into the area at its western end, leading to clogs there).
