More details

Motorcycles, exempt at the Dartford Crossing, have minimal impact on congestion and emissions. Making the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels toll-free for motorcyclists ensures fairness and encourages eco-friendly transport. Motorcycles reduce traffic, take up less space, and are cost-effective for commuters, especially those on low incomes. This policy supports sustainability, alleviates congestion, and aligns with efforts to promote equitable and efficient transport options.
