Can someone explain how a congestion charge can be applied in Brighton in such a way as to make a significant cut in the amount of traffic in the city centre?
How much congestion consists of people driving within the city itself, and how would the congestion charge be levied to discourage car travel for journeys that were entirely inside the zone?
And bearing in mind the disappointing results in London, will the amount collected cover the cost of running the scheme?
I am not questioning the principle of a congestion charge, which seems a reasonable way of rationing the limited amount of road space, but I just want to know how it could be applied to make it effective.
