Abolition of Bridge Tolls (Scotland) Act 2008 (2008 asp 1)
The legislation was enacted to eliminate tolls on three major Scottish bridges: the Forth Road, Tay Road, and Erskine Bridges. This Act's primary aim was to remove the financial burden from regular users and stimulate economic growth by facilitating smoother and cost-free transportation. By abolishing these tolls, it also ensured fair and consistent access to essential travel routes, enhancing connectivity within Scotland. The removal aligns with broader governmental objectives of fostering local development and improving overall infrastructure efficiency without imposing direct fees on commuters.
