Congestion charges explained With thanks to Michelle Yip

London's mayor Ken Livingstone hopes making drivers pay to enter the city centre will cut traffic by at least 10%. As well as improving the lot of the city's pedestrians, cyclists and bus drivers, those motorists who pay the charge can expect quicker journey times. Reduced noise, air pollution and traffic accidents would also pay economic as well as social dividends, it is argued. Expected to raise £130m a year This must be spent on public transport for first 10 years

Details In London, the heart of the city will be designated as the charging area from 0700 to 1830, Monday to Friday. It will not be levied on bank holidays. The toll zone is eight miles square and covers 1.3% of the total 617 square miles of Greater London. Car, lorry and van drivers will be charged £5 for entering or parking within the ring road. Motorists will be able to buy tickets in advance from 1000 to 2200 and some will be exempt.

The average speed in London is 9mph - slower than in the horse and cart era Motorcyclists will be exempt from the London toll, as will the disabled and those drivers of licensed taxis and emergency services. Public service vehicles and community mini- buses will also be exempt but only if the organisation pre- registers the number plates. Drivers of "green" vehicles will get a 100% discount if they pay a £10 annual administration fee. Drivers living within the charging zone will qualify for a 90% discount. Concessions will also be available for low-paid education and hospital workers living or employed within the zone. NHS workers using their cars for work purposes will be exempt, as will firefighters driving between stations.

… and if you don’t pay London drivers will be able to purchase daily, weekly (£25), monthly (£110) or annual (£1,250) passes by post, phone, online, or in newsagents, shops or garages. Those who don't pay will be fined £80, but a discount of £40 will be rewarded for prompt payment. The penalty will be increased to £120 if the fine is not paid in reasonable time.
