  Road pricing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Road pricing is a generic term for charging for the use of roads using direct methods, charging the users of a specific section of the road network for its use.
Opposition to road pricing, when coming from the broad political left is largely directed at perceptions of fairness.
It should also be noted that the current government did not originally float the idea of road user pricing for all UK vehicles; the previous Conservative government were also studying the idea in the 1980s, though principally considering tolling to pay for the construction of motorways rather than to control congestion.

 Electronic Road Pricing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Road users pointed out that the implementation of an ERP gantry along any road simply moves the traffic somewhere else, potentially causing traffic bottlenecks along smaller roads.
Similarly, the ERP gantry on the East Coast Parkway's west-bound carriageway was said to have led to increased traffic on Geylang Road and Nicoll Highway, where ERP gantries were also placed subsequently.
The LTA, sensing the displeasure, attempted to alleviate the situation by widening the road between the Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and Braddell Road in 2003, in response to public feedback which frequently attributed the jams to this congested stretch.

 Road Pricing: The Case For Or Against
As road space is a valuable and scarce resource[14] we would argue that it ought to be rationed by a price mechanism.
In the past, the technical possibilities of road pricing were very limited[15] but with the advent of electronic road pricing, cars no longer have to stop to be charged.
Road damaging is basically caused by heavy vehicles as the damage to the road pavement increases to the fourth power of the axle load.

 Our Cities, Our Cars
[http://www.vtpi.org/] Theoretically, pricing that reduces congestion (displace journeys away from peak periods) and that reduces pollution (move people to alternative modes) implies setting road prices relative to a combination of where a vehicle drives (congested cores), when a car is driven (rush hours) and what is driven (emission volumes).
Throughout this literature studies indicate that equitable road pricing, in conjunction with similarly managed parking pricing and pay-as-you-drive (PAYD) insurance, would redistribute traffic away from rush hour peaks and would significantly reduce the number of automotive journeys by 10 to 30%.
If road pricing is the only feasible, global mechanism to manage congestion and pollution and if it now economically, politically and socially possible to deploy road-pricing, we stand at the threshold of a phenomenal opportunity to address three critical urban problems: lack of funding, congestion and pollution.

Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) is an electronic system of road pricing based on a pay-as-you-use principle.
ERP has been effective in maintaining an optimal speed range of 45 to 65 km/h for expressways and 20 to 30 km/h for arterial roads.
The first road pricing scheme, known as the Area Licensing Scheme (ALS), was introduced in the Restricted Zone (RZ) in 1975.

Recognising that road pricing is difficult to justify to voters, the paper contrasts the contexts of Australian cities and cities internationally where road pricing is under consideration or has been implemented (in respect of factors like population density, levels of congestion, price of transport etc).
Electronic road pricing (ERP) is receiving a lot of attention at a policy level in Australia and internationally.
The paper reviews: the importance of improved road pricing; its use together with other means for managing the road transport system, options for the use of technology to support the operation of electronic road pricing; and some case studies where ERP has been attempted or is being considered.

The aim of the trial was to see whether the use of road pricing measures could stimulate a proportion of the regular drivers on the M32 and ARR to mode shift, either to a more rational use of their car, use a combination of modes or a switch to public transport.

Even though there are several reasons for implementing road pricing, the publicly stated objective of the Singapore Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) scheme has always been to reduce traffic congestion, which implies that the ERP scheme in Singapore is in fact a congestion pricing scheme.
Unfortunately, the economic efficiency and welfare implications of the ERP scheme in Singapore were beyond the scope of Luk (1999).

The chip is electronically credited with up to 500 Singapore dollars (S$ 500), or about USD 150, from his bank account, and the cost of each transaction is then deducted electronically.
Card-based road pricing or toll systems now operating elsewhere have a major drawback: vehicles must stop at entry points to allow drivers to insert their card into a ‘reader’ which examines the balance and deducts the toll.
It receives an electronic signal from the gantry at the entry point to the restricted zone or expressway, and amplifies the CashCard’s responding signal, which is then ‘read’ by the device in the gantry.
