congestion charges
Urban driving fees
Congestion charges are fees imposed on vehicles entering designated urban areas, typically city centers during peak hours.
The charges aim to reduce traffic, encourage public transit use, and fund transportation improvements.
London pioneered modern congestion charging in 2003: The congestion charge adds £15 to drive into central London.
