Petition Refunding toll charges in the event of long traffic delays

More details

Accidents, incidents, maintenance works, weather conditions etc. - lost working time, disruption to family life, and increased stress levels.

Toll charges contribute towards improving the quality of driving and reduce delays. When this fails it would be fair that the operators refund the toll charges during the event of traffic delays.

Rail commuters are entitled for a refund on their season tickets. Similar performance indicator must be operated to toll roads.
