I was talking about when visiting non-walkable businesses - I pay about double that, but that’s because I have a 0.9l city car and if you had something more polluting it’d be significantly more, plus double for your 2nd+ car. That covers up to around 1km from my flat, which I’d deem walkable, and means people who don’t live locally have to pay even higher rates
