It's not a bad idea... If you live within a certain radius, you enter DT for free. If you live beyond, you pay based on your license plate registration.
In Rome they have this system. There are cameras over every street that enters the historic center. Sounds expensive, and perhaps this is not necessarily the way to do it, but I'm starting to warm up to the idea.
Toronto has a system for the express highways. An electronic device in your car that basically proves payment for the toll for that road. Without the device, you get mailed a bill for the toll.
