No. Deal with it the same way that low-cost airlines use market forces. Their first seats are the cheapest and the last are the most expensive.Suggestions? £5 to use the M6?

Have a toll which varies within a wide band. Traffic density is monitored automatically and the toll drops when the M6 gets too full. Set the toll every 15 minutes, say, and display it far enough upstream for people to choose.
It's actually quite straightforward to do.
Sorry, perhaps I should have been clearer. I was just following the OP's terminology i.e. the original motorway = "the M6" and the new road = "the M6 Toll".Rhythm Thief said:But the M6 Toll is run as a business, and no business drops its prices when demand is at its peak.
