Lane set up for residents to fix traffic

SHANGHAI: Residents in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, will now have a seat at the table to help remedy the city's numerous traffic problems.

The city government is conducting a survey of not only residents, but Party members, legislators, political advisors and government officials on several key countermeasures that may ease the worsening traffic situation.

Possible solutions include whether to control the number of vehicles, raise the price of car license plates or charge a fee for driving during peak hours.
