Drivers of large sport utility vehicles (SUVs) may soon have to pay additional charges to use London’s roads, as Mayor Sadiq Khan considers new measures targeting what critics often call “Chelsea tractors”.
The proposal forms part of Transport for London’s (TfL) updated Vision Zero action plan, which aims to eliminate deaths and serious injuries on the capital’s roads by 2041. Officials say the growing size and popularity of SUVs could pose increased risks to pedestrians and cyclists.
