Congestion Charging Pricing - Traffic Congestion Relief - Feedback from London

The following is a traffic congestion story from BBC regarding the increase in traffic congestion at the outside perimeter of congestion zones. Included is feedback from the public.

While many say that the congestion pricing is a huge success in London, you need to ask
- Who is measuring the success?
- How are they measuring it?
- What data was available before the new pricing to compare against?
- What are we NOT measuring in the current evaluation of success?

Governments have an interesting tunnel vision when it comes to assessing success. Here is feedback from the citizen's of London that say that maybe congestion pricing is just what it appears to be.... a new tax.

It looks like the Traffic Congestion Pricing is starting to have trouble.

Our policitans tell us that we need congestion pricing to solve traffic.

Maybe they could open up the conversation about carpooling?

Maybe they could work harder at eliminating waste in government so they don't need to keep coming up with new and fantastic taxes on our use of automobiles. That government revenue gift that keeps on giving.

HOV Lanes but no Carpool Advertisement, Weird....

We have HOV lanes. Expensive HOV lanes. In California the Sepluveda Pass on the 405 will get a 1 Billion dollar upgrade to add one single carpool lane.

And yet, there is no advertisement of carpooling. Bush even made a slip of the tongue about carpooling on his 4th of July address that was re-spun by his administration later to clarify that the carpooling mentioned was only to be for the familes of soldiers in Iraq.

There is a serious leadership vacuum in this country.

Why is carpooling dismissed if it can solve traffic problems?

It is interesting to me how quickly carpooling is dismissed as a footnote in sovling traffic congestion.

The following is a response to LAtimes.com bloggers regarding building more roads or mass transit as the only solutions for freeway congestion.
