What about when trains and busses were privatised, made more expensive (thus monetarily restricting your movement)? What about when tax on petrol and diesel was increased making travel more expensive (thus monetarily restricting your movement)[1]? What about speed limits and one-way streets and no-entry signs existing and restricting your movement? What about increases in cost of parking over the years (same again) or for employees of hospitals (restricting freedom of employment)?

"ULEZ making travel more expensive" - isn't that what people who claim to love freedom so often want, free markets which adjust things based on monetary incentives?
