Severn crossings: proposed toll reductions
Seeks views on the proposed halving of tolls on the Severn crossings.
The government has proposed halving tolls at the Severn crossings when the current concession comes to an end.
This consultation seeks views on the proposed reductions, and the draft legislation that would implement the reductions.
It also discusses other issues, including the possibility of replacing toll barriers with ‘free flow’ tolling, where drivers pay electronically with no need to stop.
Draft charging order – this order would implement a road user charging order on the Severn crossings under the Transport Act 2000.
Draft statutory instrument defining vehicle categories – these regulations would allow the Severn crossings charging order to use the same vehicle categories as currently apply on the crossings.
