About: Shunpiking

An Entity of Type: road, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Shunpiking is the act of deliberately avoiding roads that require payment of a fee or toll to travel on them, usually by traveling on alternative "free" roads which bypass the toll road. The term comes from the word shun, meaning "to avoid", and pike, a term referring to turnpikes, which is another name for toll roads. People who often avoid toll roads sometimes call themselves shunpikers. Historically, certain paths around tollbooths came to be so well known they were called "shun-pikes".

dbo:abstract
  • Unter Maut-Ausweichverkehr versteht man Verkehrsströme, die dadurch entstehen, dass Verkehrsteilnehmer ggf. weniger verkehrsgünstige, aber mautfreie Strecken verwenden, um Straßenbenutzungsgebühren zu vermeiden. Auf den Ausweichstrecken führt das zu einer höheren Verkehrsdichte und -stärke, während sie sich auf den vermiedenen Maut-Strecken vermindern. (de)
