London's Daring Traffic Move: Successful, But Right For Us?

Neal Peirce asks a question about charging for road use in general. Now, Would it work in Seattle?

A striking fact: the $8/day charge has only reduced London trafic by 20%. One hundred thousand people per day pay the charge (that's $8 million per day) or $1.6 billion (using only 200 working days) per year. It costs to operate the system, but the net to the public authority must be an impressive number.
