Abstract
Road tolls are a well established way of dealing with problems of con-
gestion. Over recent years, the literature has expanded to take account of
how congestion charges might interact with imperfections in other mar-
kets. In this paper, we consider the case where congestion occurs within
a complex road network, with congestion on multiple links. To derive a
truly optimal toll, account must be taken of the entire network. As a case
study, we take a stylised version of the road network in Bergen, Norway.
