Traditional congestion pricing strategies are meant to reduce demand on heavily congested roads by charging every user a toll during times when the facility experiences congestion. Value pricing refers to the practice of requiring drivers to pay the right toll for the first class service of a guaranteed congestion-free lane.

Abstract:

Americans use the interstate highway system as a means of escape from natural disasters, but these roads may offer false hope with regard to escaping terrorist attacks. Such disasters require a different and creative approach to prevent chaos and the overuse of the highway system in evacuating metropolitan regions which could potentially lead to other harmful consequences.
