Solutions adapted to local geographies<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

As Europe harmonizes, other regions are experimenting with variations of Free Flow Tolling<\/strong> more radical. In Santiago, Chile, the Costanera Norte urban highway has been charging per kilometer since 2019, but adds a congestion coefficient updated every ten minutes. Bangalore, India, converted three peripheral arteries to MLFF in just 14 months using low-cost ANPR cameras calibrated for two-line plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on Dubai: Salik 2.0<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

The new system uses passive RFID tags and a predictive algorithm to pre-charge for predictable peaks (national holidays, major trade shows). The result: 22,% less traffic around the World Trade Center, according to the RTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike in Europe, operators can be mostly private and freely set a dynamic pricing<\/em>In Chile, the peak hourly rate reached \u20ac0.38\/km in March 2025, compared to \u20ac0.09\/km at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can Europe learn from this?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • The importance of a flexible contractual framework: shorter concession cycle, adaptable KPIs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Real-time transparency: a public dashboard displaying minute-by-minute traffic and prices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The integration of congestion tickets into carpooling, in order to spread the cost and strengthen social acceptability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Emerging countries are proving that voluntary free flow can work, provided there is a balance between accessible technology, agile regulation and constant communication.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
