In Norway there is an established tradition of financing sections of road infrastructure, especially bridges and tunnels, by the combined use of road user tolls and public funds. Lately this method of combined private and public funding for roadbuilding have also been applied in areas where competitive (old) free of charge routes do exist. The question of diversion from the new route due to price sensitivity thus has become important. For instance, environmental objectives of the project may not be met, and the company responsible for the private part of the funding may run into serious financial problems. Traffic levels on several recent toll projects of this type have in fact been substantially below what was expected or hoped for. Demands have been miscalculated both due to less general growth in traffic than expected and difficulties with transferring empirical evidence from one area and point in time to another. The paper addresses the question of route choice under the influence of tolls. Interview surveys were conducted on users and non-users of a tolled motorway section of the main national highway between Trondheim and the regional airport, autumn 1989 and autumn 1990.
