Congestion charging

1) A concept whereby road users are charged for the use of certain roads where traffic congestion is a problem - the objective being to price-out frivolous or unimportant use and thus concentrate use for essential purposes only.

This is just one example of the wider concept of road pricing. Charging is usually via tolling (ie with access via toll gates where vehicles stop and pay) or by automated electronic charging systems.
