Urban transport problems and traffic restraint are now a key political issue in many European countries. Much of the debate concerns the role which road pricing might play in solving urban transport problems; it is viewed variously as a revenue-raising device, a means of alleviating congestion, or as a way of making traffic face their environmental costs. However, issues of privacy, equity and enforcement remain to be resolved. The paper first outlines the various non-pricing measures that are being used to restrain car traffic in European cities; it then discusses plans for road pricing in several Northern European countries, and presents aspects of the current debate.
