A system and method for traffic decongestion which allows users to bid for faster passage and faster journeys. The system and method allows autonomous, semi-autonomous or user-driven cars to bid for faster passage for their journeys. Users willing to use slower journeys may be compensated for their contribution in reducing traffic congestion. In addition to reduction of traffic congestion, the system and method can normalize road usage, minimize road wear, give municipalities a new revenue stream, and save users time currently wasted by traffic.
