Roadpricing, why did it not work?

Abstract

This article is only available in DutchDaily traffic jams at certain highways are a daily nuisance to a lot of people. Discussions about the use of pricing to stimulate car-users to avoid certain sections at certain times last for more than a decade without any result. How can we explain this, using Jan Grijpink's theory of Chain-computerisation and does the theory suggest an effective approach to limit daily traffic jams during rush hours?
