Answer 2

A)

Reduced toll revenues would threaten public road maintenance budgets.

Step-by-step explanation:

If cars will more than three people will not pay tall chargers, the city will collect fewer revenues from the toll stations as some cars will not pay. A significant decline in revenues that can affect road maintenance can influence the city to weigh against implementing that proposal.

Spreading the peak time traffic and increasing speeds is what the city hopes to achieve. The city would be happy if the average number of miles commuted remain the same. The only negative effect that could halt the implementation of the plan is reduced revenues.
