Beijing Urged by Advisory Body to Step Up Vehicle Restrictions

Beijing should step up measures to restrict the number of vehicles in China’s capital and ease traffic congestion, according to a government advisory body.

“The government should set up a car exiting mechanism so that there will be zero growth or even negative growth of cars in the next five to ten years in the central area of the city,” the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference said in a report on its website today.
