Abstract

This chapter consists of three sections focused on the three major, non-pollution-related externalities from motor vehicles: traffic congestion, traffic accidents, and (to a much lesser extent) wear and tear on the road network (relevant for trucks). Other data and assumptions needed to implement the corrective motor fuel tax formulas from Chapter 3 are discussed in the annexes to this chapter.
