==Terminology== Road pricing is a general term that may be used for any system where the driver pays directly for use of a particular roadway or road network in a particular city, region, or nation. Road pricing also includes [[congestion pricing|congestion charging]], which are charges levied on qualifying road users to reduce peak demand, and thereby reduce traffic congestion<ref name=FHWA>{{cite web|url=https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ipd/tolling_and_pricing/defined/|title=Tolling and Pricing Defined|publisher=[[Federal Highway Administration]]|access-date=21 January 2019|archive-date=21 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190121121844/https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ipd/tolling_and_pricing/defined/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=UCB>{{Cite book | url = http://www.uctc.net/papers/391.pdf | last1 = Small | first1 = Kenneth A. | last2 = José A.
