Oxford (UK) recently introduced a “congestion charge” for cars entering the city during peak hours. This is meant to reduce traffic jams - which are really, really bad here - and provide funds to improve public transport, with inner city residents and a few groups such as carers getting free passes. The BBC reported on initial changes in Oxford traffic data, discussing the impact with Anne Gwinnett from the Open Roads for Oxford “company”*, which opposes the congestion charge (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c79x784jgp0o).
Out of curiosity I looked up Dr Gwinnett - and wow, she’s previously been in the (local) news for the trifecta of Covid (vaccine) conspiracies, climate change denial and anti-LGBT hate-mongering (https://oxfordclarion.uk/the-views-of-the-independent-oxford-alliances-chair/ ). Maybe a bit more vetting of interviewees would be helpful?

#Verkehrswende - Bubble, wie ist eigentlich Rechtslage in Deutschland bzgl. #CongestionCharge bzw. City-Maut? Müsste Bundes- oder Landesrecht geändert werden, damit eine Stadt derartige Gebühren erheben kann? Welche potentiellen "Umwege" gäbe es?
