Phillip Booth comments for The Telegraph
Phillip Booth, IEA Senior Academic Fellow, has commented in The Telegraph on the need to introduce a road pricing system to ensure that drivers are charged fairly for the amount of time they spend on the roads.
“We use the roads, there is a capital cost, there is a current cost and the cost of congestion we impose on others, and there is a way of reflecting those in prices,”
“That would help ration scarce road space, it would help encourage people to use the roads at times when they are less congested.”
