UK Transport Secretary Alistair Darling has unveiled a plan to tackle traffic congestion by using a satellite-based road pricing system. The proposals envisage charging motorists as they drive, using a sliding scale of tariffs depending on the time of travel and the routes used. For example, drivers using congested roads in London during the commuter peaks would incur the maximum charge - a suggested £1.30 per mile. The satellite charges would replace fuel duty and road tax, thereby acting to influence car use rather than mere car running costs as at present.
