On the block

 Beijing but also to effect; worth studying is this: why people are trying to resist the effective way to turn to the worst counterproductive.
role is to ease road traffic; is to ease the traffic the higher the value, the greater the value of the road high, this is the airport runway and the difference between a country road. severe congestion, allowing high-value reduced to a country road, airport runway; and rule blocking the goal is to try to get the value of roads to achieve the maximum, that is, ensure that in any period, are to demand the use of road vehicles for the smooth passage of the maximum. This goal clearly, and many counter-measures, because the goals and other objectives of this mixed result.
from economics perspective, the road is not public goods (public goods), but private goods (private goods). The so-called public goods, refers to a person does not affect other people with items used. A typical example is the melody, story, Science theorem. public goods provided by the Government either, such as public television programs; as well as by individuals, such as movies and books with a copyright.
private goods, means ; of items, including food, electricity, water, health services, education facilities, national parks, waterways and other transport and highways. Private supplies are either provided by the Government, but also by individuals or private agencies. The key is, whether who provided, and regardless of whether the provider charges to users and private supplies, may not charge, but a lane, a car, and another car can not use the same, so the congestion will occur. other private goods, but also Yigai case.
Thus, although the Government has provided private goods, But the Government to imitate the practice of the private sector, user fees, to still have a double significance. First, the charge can distinguish the user's needs, can the more people. Second, the fees can help the government cost accounting, the private sector as the Government seems to know whether the facilities they provide cost-effective, so as to provide future guidance of public construction scale.
a lot of people are generally opposed to pays, on price pay size. the rich have refused to offer the time, the poor have very willing to bid time. If the right of way is based on congestion charge distribution, then a poor pregnant woman lying in the ambulance, is contained in more than a daughter's ballet class rich people are more willing to pay the congestion charge? a group of office workers crowded bus, pooled money is easier for a woman alone in the family way to do beauty? Clearly, the market mechanism as the demand for a higher offer at any time over the poor need lower opportunities for the rich, while other means of administrative control, it will only weaken the poor people of this opportunity, and those administrative measures to consolidate the advantages of rich people.
Some may say that the government received the money has been enough. This is indeed a problem. But even if mm private goods provided by the Government should pay private goods mm, and the charges should be used where are two different issues. Governments do not charge a cent congestion charge, and collect enough After a high congestion charge all of their income divided equally to all members of the public, although these two approaches can prevent the Government to increase revenue, but the effect of congestion control is completely different. Guangzhou Metro free ride trial experience, is excellent circumstantial evidence. If private supplies on the subway this completely free of charge, so even if it is low demand for people who are coming; the contrary, charges residents returned to their income, the demand will be active avoidance of low peak passengers.
Beijing The road was not more effective, the more the principle of governance away from the more ineffective blocking programs. For example, increasing fuel costs and effective governance is difficult to block. This approach not only in non-peak hours will make the owners lose traffic, but also to encourage the already paid a high the owners of fuel costs, to compete for already scarce road time. It may also be to the surrounding areas to buy petrol, and thus lead to unnecessary waste caused by the control. not fair increase, the congestion is not reduced.
Similarly, attempting to improve the approach to the governance of the license fee block, is nowhere near enough, grasp the point. regulators have no reason to infer that foreign demand for cars on Beijing roads than local cars. On the contrary, the general willingness to open all the way to the car, Instead, the car should be better than local, there are more urgent things to do. However, the regulator plate to take the field if not discriminatory restrictions and improve the practice of Beijing license plate fee rule would be difficult to receive any blocking effect. by the This view, by increasing the license fee approach to the treatment block, to solve the problems caused more problems than I am afraid.
Again, the recent promulgation of the poor, regardless of whether people will form an underground market to offset its effects, with the sections have been blocked too, and not be blocked in the future. even to stop from licensing, but also help solve the current congestion.
In addition, we could hear all kinds of blocking rule proposals, including ; optimal path planning suburbs, blocking, the same rule block, or even placed on a blocking rule.
This is to say, we may wish to discuss how to optimize these external conditions, to discuss how to diversion, how to develop public transportation, how to limit public power, but the rule itself is not blocking these issues objectives. We can not first give up the should be implemented, supply, and then discuss how to build an ideal society, incidentally, makes the chicken so do prices.
As for the traffic speed, as an objective, real-time road congestion to adjust rates, with electronic display boards and radio publicity and other measures, through the cameras to record license plates of vehicles passing, after notice and impose congestion charges. can imagine, After a period of adjustment, rates for different periods of congestion will stabilize, owners will be able to form more accurate forecasts. If people in the past expected to say fee. Yes, can not prevent their own interests.
