In order to design a pricing strategy it is necessary to understand how it affects the route choices of drivers in the system. This work explores this question by providing an idealized dynamical model for re-routing as traffic flows change to cheaper routes. Results show a convergence to a Wardrop-equilibrium, which is also proven formally and demonstrated via simulation. Keyphrases: congestion fee, route choice, Urban Traffic Control, user equilibrium, Zone pricing
