Use a supply and demand diagram to help explain how a city council might help to decrease traffic congestion in the city during weekends.
- pointing out that demand happens during a peak period
- and that perhaps one could enhance demand during off-peak periods - say by lowering parking prices
- lowering demand during weekends
a) toll booths at city limits
b) creating viable and attractive substitutes, for example by enhancing bus runs and/or lowering the price of public transportation
c) Make parking houses outside city limits with free buses into the city centre
- other solutions in lowering demand, for example each other weekend only odd number license plates in the city
- Enhanced road tax
- any plausible example of how weekend driving in the city might be reduced
