Putting aside the policy issue of charging at all for a moment, that doesn't work on a topological basis. One car could be driving all day long while staying inside the emissions zone (remember we are talking about the N/S circular very soon), whereas another which just happened to 'live' near the boundary could do half a dozen short trips spread throughout the day, but nevertheless crossing the boundary. Unless you set your "very short time" at say 12hrs, which isn't at all what you meant. We were talking about the City of London (which is what this thread started as) and our own made up plans, not the emissions zone as proposed by the Mayor of London. It's a bit confusing when people start talking about the congestion charge, which as far as I know goes to TfL (or its Mayor) rather than the City of London. The City is, of course, small enough for this to work. -- Roland Perry |
