Road pricing and user restraint: Opportunities and constraints in developing countries
Abstract Urban traffic congestion is growing most rapidly in the developing world, and it is here, mainly because of infrastructure and resource constraints, that traffic restraint is likely to be most urgently required in the near future. This paper examines the specific problems of developing countries and the attempts which have been made to introduce policies of road pricing in a number of their cities. The findings are that, given the conditions prevailing, a number of fiscal restraint policies offer at least a partial solution. Road pricing is found to be technically feasible, but its wider use is likely to be limited for some time by political factors. Thus second-best policies that gradually move towards more effective restraints are likely to be the best option in many countries.
