Congestion pricing is a system where drivers are charged a fee to enter certain high-traffic areas during peak times, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Proponents argue that it effectively reduces traffic and emissions while generating revenue for public transportation improvements. Opponents argue that it unfairly targets lower-income drivers and may simply shift congestion to other areas.

No, for now as the transit systems in urban areas in Irealnd are not adequate enough to justify congestion pricing. However, once the transit systems in these places are adequate and up to standard, congestion pricing should definitely be implemented.
@9ZTYF33 3mos3MO
no until public transport is increased and improved then yes to discourage the use of personal vehicles
@9ZT3FBC3mos3MO
Unreliable public transport is the leading cause for dependence on cars and private vehicles. The people should not be penalized for the governments lack of development of public transport.
@9ZSZWLZ3mos3MO
I think the government make enough money from people with all the costs of having a car in the road and parking
@9ZR2QRL3mos3MO
Only if there is an adequate public transport system to meet the demand for people who will not use vehicles in urban areas as a result of the charges
@9ZMM8LL3mos3MO
No, better management of elements of our road network such as light sequencing should be prioritised to minimise traffic congestion and instead emissions based charging/restriction's should be introduced as seen in most countries in mainland Europe (Germany, Spain, France)
@9ZBDVLB4mos4MO
Yes they should but not if there is not sufficient public transport infrastructure in the city
@9Z9WFY74mos4MO
No, in cities like Paris it does not decongest traffic and only adds to driver’s frustrations and stress when parking, which could result in accidents.
