A new study published this week by Australian public policy think-tank, the Grattan Institute, outlines the benefits of congestion charges and time-of-day tolling for Australia’s largest cities.

The Institute's Productive Cities report claims that building more roads or expanding existing roads alone will not curb congestion.

“It is not enough to rely solely on building new roads without also paying attention to managing the demand for road space,” the report reads.

“A more efficient use of road space could be achieved by introducing a pricing system such as road user charges, congestion charges or time-of-day tolling.”
