Would you be happy to pay three-dollars to drive through the centre of your city during peak hour?
That's what's being proposed in Tauranga, with road congestion charging on the menu.
Transport agency Waka Kotahi says if the charges aren't introduced, it could lead to economic disaster.
That's because revenue raised - up to $158 million per year by 2048 - would be reinvested into local transport projects such as roading or public transport.
Without the revenue, that work might not be possible.
Tauranga City Council commissioner Stephen Selwood spoke to Corin Dann.
