A War on Traffic

I despise traffic and often wondered how with all of our advanced technology, we can't cure this ugly beast.

A simple proposal - charge drivers money based upon the amount of traffic. Very smart idea.

UPDATE: An even smarter idea to alleviate the regressive tax concerns is to credit the money toward car registration in the area, so registration costs less per year.

The biggest problem I see is charging people for traffic accidents, which cause unexpected traffic every day.
