Opposition is growing to the proposed return of road tolls (see P23). Road tolls were tried in the 1980s but scrapped in the 1990s and replaced by a road maintenance levy added to the price of fuel. But those roads must use electronic tolling or there will be huge traffic jams. Many countries now collect road tolls using computer recognition (which Nairobi already has for security purposes). Then road tolls would make sense.
