I'm suggesting a virtuous circle by more reward than penalty to educate and appeal to car commuters that they must free up the limited road space for essential business vehicle users, like buses, HGV drivers, district nurses, midwives etc who have to use their vehicles.
These drivers must register to have the right to drive in daytime, Mon to Fri, because of their work.
The car commuters who do not register are then picked up by CCTV and fined.
The money goes to Fare-Free Public Transport for all and the phasing out of diesel buses for electric.
Essential vehicles use the nearside and overtaking lane with traffic light priority for them.
Car commuters who pay the penalty every day are only allowed to use the overtaking lane.
This encourages more people to leave their cars at home and jump on a free bus, train, tram throughout the region.
Thus healthier, safer communities that are doing more to slow the climate crisis/breakdown and resource depletion.
