In New York in Manhattan, they are offering to charge drivers $ 11,52 for entry into the busiest parts of the district. Writes NBCThis proposal was made in order to relieve traffic congestion.

It is reported that authorities who approve of tolls should have received this proposal for review on Friday. The idea is called the “cost of traffic jams” and includes road tolls that are charged by automatically identifying vehicles and direct debiting of amounts from the accounts of their owners.

Similar measures are already in force in London and Singapore. Supporters of the idea say that this initiative can not only relieve traffic, but also attract additional money. Skeptics say that the new duty may be an additional burden for people.

The initiative also proposes to charge $ 25,34 from trucks that enter the busy parts of Manhattan, and for a taxi to set a fee of $ 2-5 for the trip. The pricing zone will cover Manhattan south of 60 st.
