The ERP in Dubai

Does it work here? Well in a restricted sense yes. On the targeted roads, the traffic has lightened considerably, but the other roads are more congested than ever. There is no way it is going to smooth unless people start to car pool. Dubai does not have a viable alternative in the form of public transport. Re-directing traffic doesn't solve the problem. It only moves it elsewhere. If you can afford to pay the toll, good for you. As usual, it is money rather than government that will solve your problem.
