How is congestion charge enforced?
How is congestion charge enforced? With congestion pricing, tolls typically vary by time of day and are collected at highway speeds using electronic toll collection technology. Traffic flows freely and there are no toll booths. Vehicles are equipped with electronic devices called transponders or tags, which are read by overhead antennas.
What happens if you accidentally go into the congestion zone?
The congestion zones themselves work by using cameras to capture the registration plates of those driving there. A fee will be issued to you if you have not pre-paid, and you will be notified of this – so, even if you drove in the zone accidentally, you will find out.
Can I pay the Congestion Charge by phone?
You can pay for the Congestion Charge in several different ways. The official TfL website lets you pay online, or you can use a dedicated Congestion Charge app. If you don't have internet access, you can pay by phone or set up an Auto Pay account for automatic payments.
