Don't bring road tolls, just increase fuel levy


Parliament will soon consider whether to endorse a proposal in the Finance Bill to re-introduce 15 toll stations on major highways. These jams will only become longer if road tolls are introduced. Some countries do operate road tolls successfully. It would be costly to build such toll stations here although it might be technically possible. This is more equitable than a road toll since it taxes road users according to how much fuel they consume and therefore how much they use the roads.
