Kiley wants road user charging in London

Put cameras literally everywhere to catch them? IMO all it will do is increase the already vast number of unregistered cars (or registered to the wrong address) on the roads. It's done in Melbourne already: "City Link users are required to register with the Link operator, CityLink Melbourne, either by opening a toll account or by buying a DayPass. Those who open an account will receive a small wireless device known as an e-TAG to install on the vehicle's windscreen. Each e-TAG has a unique number stored in its electronic memory. The e-TAG does not contain the vehicle's licence plate number, the driver's name and address or other personal details. When a vehicle carrying an e-TAG passes through a toll zone, the e-TAG is detected by a scanner mounted on a gantry above the roadway and the identifying number is recorded. This number is linked to the driver's toll account in the central tolling computer system located in South Melbourne. When a driver's e-TAG is recorded passing under a gantry, the tolling computer deducts the toll for that toll zone from the driver's toll account. This process represents a single 'transaction'. Each transaction is similar to a withdrawal from a bank account and is entered into the records of the driver's toll account." http://www.roadtraffic-technology.co...urne_citylink/ -- Tony Bryer |
