After little investment in infrastructure for 25 years, California's system is groaning. The situation is so bad that businesses complain about potential employees turning down job that would require them to spend several hours a day driving. Car makers are also concerned. They worry that the poor air quality in California's suburban areas will mean they are ordered to meet impossibly strict design to reduce pollution. Road-pricing has long been championed by economists, keen to impose more of the external costs of driving on road-users by charging them a fee that reflects not just the distance travelled but also the time and route of the journey. Commuting imposes a heavier when it is done at rush hour so such journeys ought to cost a driver more. In theory, drivers will then adjust their times and smooth out the flow of traffic through the day.
