Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Helen Holland of Bristol City Council says the proposals are intended to curb traffic levels in the city from 7.30am to 10am. She says pilot schemes, starting at a £1 charge and rising gradually to £7 in proportion to a rise in air pollution, would cut traffic by 20%. She envisages the charge will increase to £5 over the next 10 years."We certainly want to do the same as London," Holland says. "One critical difference is that the technology has moved on a bit."
