Abstract

This chapter examines how road pricing may fit into a larger package of urban traffic control, especially congestion-related, fiscal measures. First some of the problems associated with road pricing are examined in particular situations where it is not an efficient policy instrument and those where its workings would be imperfect. The need to integrate road pricing into a wider package of fiscal measures is stressed and some of these interactions considered. Topics discussed include a) the track cost issue, b) parking and road pricing, c) public transport investment and d) road investment.
