ERP is considered an effective mechanism in diverting traffic away from a congested stretch of road and regulating the growth in private transport. In reality, the implementation of ERP on certain roads merely shifts vehicles to non-priced roads, thereby having little effect on overall congestion. This hardly solves our nation’s road congestion problems. Do you agree?

The desired impact is highly case specific though, and relies on several factors such as the price of the toll to the affected road user, the availability of alternative routes and modes of public transport as well as on the preferences of drivers.
