Abstract: | Improved road pricing would be an indispensable element in a road system run on commercial principles, with charges for road use not co-mingled with taxes, and with no discrimination against private road providers. But pricing imposed by a monopoly supplier, to "restrain" motorised mobility, is unacceptable in a free society. Almost all motorised travel in Britain (94% of passenger miles, and 89% of freight ton miles) is by road. |
