In my country, Singapore, our government built Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) gantries on the highways. These gantries automatically deduct payment from the In-vehicle Unit (IU) found in each motor vehicle, in which you insert your cashcard. This way, motorists will want to avoid the gantries on the highways and this will divert some of the traffic into the smaller, less-travelled roads.
