Abstract

The traditional system of payment for the use of roads has allowed the road user to become inelastic to the prince of supplying roads. Impurity in this market in the past may have led to a mal-distribution of transport generation. Since the prime impurity is a social cost, the market will not correct itself. Therefore, a tax on traffic generation is proposed. It would be proportional to generation and progressively related to utilization of traffic capacity.
