China's Harbin Starts Car Control Policy to Ease Traffic for Winter Universiade
Feb 20, 2009 By eChinacities.com
The Chinese northern city of Harbin started on Sunday a half-month-long control of vehicle use to ensure smoother traffic for the 24th Winter Universiade set to open on Feb. 18.
According to a traffic control regulation running from Feb. 15 to March 1, vehicles with even and odd plate number run on alternate days in 19 major lanes of the city, to improve air quality and ease traffic pressure. Meanwhile, 47 downtown streets are dedicated as special lanes for the Winter Universiade and only open to vehicles serving the events. However, city buses, taxis and those vehicles used for the Games were free of the rule.
