Congestion Charging - das Beispiel Londons / Congestion Charging - for example London

Eines der weltweit groessten Systeme des Congestion Charging beziehungsweise Road Pricings wurde fuer die Benutzung einzelner Strassenabschnitte am 17.02.2003 in London eingefuehrt, um die staugeplagte Innenstadt nachhaltig vom Individualverkehr zu entlasten. Im Beitrag werden die oekonomischen Grundlagen dieses Systems im Allgemeinen sowie die wichtigsten Merkmale des Londoner Systems vorgestellt und eine erste Zwischenbilanz der bisherigen verkehrswirtschaftlichen Effekte der Londoner Congestion Charge gezogen. ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: A basic economic principle states that every user of a resource should bear the full costs incurred by using that specific resource in order to warrant an efficient resource allocation. On February 17th 2003, one of the world's largest and most sophisticated congestion charging schemes was introduced in Central London. The aim of the scheme was to significantly reduce the probability of and social costs caused by road congestion within the 21 square kilometre charging area. This article characterises the London scheme with the economics of road pricing as the theoretical benchmark. Furthermore, it examines the effects congestion charging has had in London during the first six months of its operation. (A)
