Guangzhou considers plan to ease traffic jams

Traffic police Guangzhou, Guangdong province, are soliciting public comment on a proposed rule designed to ease road congestion by restricting the number of vehicles from outside the city.

Under the long-awaited Rules on the Management of Non-Guangzhou Registered Vehicles, vehicles from outside the city would be banned for four days after they have operated in the city for four days.

The vehicles from outside could run for another four days after leaving the city or spending four days parked in a city garage, the proposal says. It was published on the website of the city's traffic police department on Monday.
