Jing Zheng Fa [2010] No.7

April 1, 2010

Under the strong leadership of the Party and State Council, as well as the vigorous support from all departments and units of the Central Government, military forces stationed in Beijing and the municipal residents, residents owning motor vehicles in particular, the provisional traffic management measures entering into force as of October 11, 2008 have been effectively implemented and achieved sound effects. Traffic congestion has been mitigated and the air quality in Beijing has been constantly improved. However, as the vehicle population sees sustained and rapid growth, the air quality and road traffic pressure in the urban area will further increase. The Municipal Government therefore decides to implement traffic management measures to restrict regional traffic in rush hour on working days as of April 11, 2010 in an effort to implement the energy conservation and emission reduction requirements of the State Council, win time and space for the development of public transport, ensure smooth road traffic, and speed up the construction of People's Beijing, High-tech Beijing and Green Beijing.
