Congestion pricing is like Brussels sprouts: everyone hates the idea of them—until they actually try them roasted with a little garlic and realize, ‘Wait… this is amazing’.
Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing:
- Complaints about car-honking are down 70%
- The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48%
- 6 million fewer cars
- Half as many traffic-related injuries
- 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

How Well Is Congestion Pricing Doing? Very.
One hundred days in, honking is down; bus speeds are up.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.”
Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried.
This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership.
Cities are a result of choices.

It wasn’t net zero — it was fossil gas that drove up UK electricity prices.
Spot on, @pilitaclark.bsky.social! Gas sets the price most of the time.

As expected, public approval of congestion pricing in New York is following the same trajectory it followed in London, Stockholm and everywhere else it was tried. One would hope we could learn a lesson from such things!
"More NYC residents now support the program than oppose it. About 42% said the toll should remain while 35% want it eliminated, according to Siena’s latest poll. That’s a reversal from December, when only 32% supported the $9 fee while 56% were against it."

NEW ANALYSIS: Current running costs of heat pumps on standard tariff reach cost parity with gas boilers with average efficiency (SCoP 2.9).
BUT: Highly efficient heat pumps + smart tariffs can more than halve heating costs.

Introduction The Straßenverkehrs-Ordnung (StVO) is a central legal framework in German traffic law that regulates the behavior of all road users on public streets, paths, and places. Together with the Road Traffic Act (StVG) and other regulations, it forms the foundation of road traffic law in Germany. The StVO establishes fundamental traffic rules, such as the duty of mutual consideration, speed limits, and right-of-way regulations, ensuring traffic safety and order.
