Subject: a question about Norway
Hi all,
in Belgium there are plans to let drivers pay for using the road
during peak hours in the morning and the evening. It's intended to
diminish the traffic jams that are growing every day. Therefore the amount
will be set rather high (2 x 200 Bef./day = 20 DEM/day) in order to
encourage people to do carpooling, use public transport, move closer to
their work... As an example, there's always referred to a city in Norway,
called Trontheim, where this "extra tax" is already operational.
Does someone know if motorcyclists have to pay there too?
Technically it's quite complicated because vehicles don't need to stop and
are billed automaticly etc.
regards,
Ludo
