People in big cities should have a deep understanding that from Monday to Friday, plus holidays, the traffic jam on the road is devastating, such as in a big city like Beijing and Shanghai, blocking, one or two hours is basic. As early as 1994, China has proposed a policy of restricting the purchase of motor vehicles. However, at that time, the domestic car ownership was not high, so the control of motor vehicle purchase restrictions was not strict, and the real attention to this matter was in 2010.

Purchase Restriction Policy
You may not imagine that as early as 2010, such as in a city like Beijing, there has been an morning peak and evening peak, vehicles are blocked, no less than now, in fact, it is not very novel, Beijing is the capital of our country, the development is relatively early, there are more rich people. At that time, there were more than five million motor vehicles. At that time, the purchase restriction policy began to be implemented on a large scale in Beijing. But over the past decade or so, with the continuous growth of the population, coupled with the fact that all people with dreams are keen to go to Beijing, they have started their own life of north drift and realized their dreams. Under the huge base, many "North Drifters" have achieved their own success, and more people have been attracted to Beijing to develop.

Therefore, Beijing's foreign population is very large. Coupled with the fact that the local population is already quite large, the effect of the purchase restriction order is minimal in Beijing. In order to better control the problem of too many vehicles, further improve policy measures to better promote the upgrading and transformation of the automotive industry and consumers. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has abolished the purchase restriction policy of automobiles and made new changes to automobile management.
Vehicles are limited
The cancellation of the vehicle purchase restriction policy is also because of the realization that this practice has little effect on solving urban congestion, and the current congestion situation has not been improved, plus the problem of buying a car should not be managed by the state, this is a matter for consumers themselves, and car owners should have this right. Therefore, in response to the problem of vehicle congestion, the state has a new approach.

Area limits
Regional traffic restrictions are mainly aimed at the driving restriction policies of foreign vehicles in large cities. According to the area where vehicles are more concentrated in each city, vehicles are restricted, such as in beijing's sixth ring road, passenger cars must apply for corresponding passes, the pass is not valid for a long time, and the number of times processed is generally only 7 times. Other foreign vehicles are also subject to a number restriction policy, and are generally not allowed to drive on major roads during periods such as morning and evening rush hours. If there is no certain restriction policy, then it can also be directly passed. Not only in Beijing, but also in many large cities, there are certain restrictions on the number plates of foreign cars.

Congestion charges
This fee is meant to reduce the congestion of the city caused by people traveling together. This policy is to be emulated from abroad and is being perfected in accordance with the real situation in our country, but this practice in London has been very effective. In fact, this is very similar to our roadside toll booths, which are generally aimed at foreign vehicles. However, in the later rectification, there may be certain changes.

brief summary
Urban congestion has become a common problem in all large cities, and in large cities like Beijing, there is basically no day that is not blocked. Again, I hope that everyone will try to minimize driving if they can travel without driving. Many people drive to reduce travel time, but there are generally private cars on the road, and there are many online ride-hailing cars, which greatly increases congestion. It backfired on many people's minds. Many times, bicycles and electric vehicles may be more convenient.
