A plan to charge drivers during busy times is being considered. This could happen if a reliable alternative for commuters is developed. Thousands of people are affected by heavy traffic, which increases travel times.

Further details about this proposal are available from the source, including comments from a key official on the potential for congestion pricing to ease traffic issues.
