Would congestion pricing significantly reduce amount of traffic? I quite doubt it.
People are willing to stay extremely long in the traffic, a few extra dollars of congestion charge on top of that won’t make much of a difference, and cost of operating the scheme would be enormous.
Unless the congestion charge is really extremely high, like $100 a day, that would probably work well enough to reduce traffic, but it’s unlikely they’ll ever do that.
