Summary:	The presence of preexisting tax distortions, and the form of revenue recycling, can crucially affect the size-- and possibly even the sign-- of the welfare effect of road pricing schemes. The efficiency gains from recycling congestion tax revenues in other tax reductions can amount to several times the Pigouvian welfare gains from congestion reduction.
