Next month's opinion on the plan of the provincial city's car limit
Shandong business daily
Ji'nan traffic congestion is largely due to the rapid growth of motor vehicles. At present, the number of motor vehicles in Ji'nan reaches 1 million 675 thousand. And according to the traffic police department forecast, the Ji'nan road network can not bear the maximum amount of motor vehicles can not exceed 2 million vehicles, in accordance with the current rate of new about 200000 cars a year, less than a few years, the Ji'nan road network will be in the rush to face the embarrassment of paralysis. For this reason, the relevant departments in Ji'nan put forward the idea that the peak period should be used for foreign cars. Recently, the reporter was informed that the plan of the measure has been preliminarily determined, and it will be announced next month after further improvement.
in accordance with the limit plan, the forbidden line will be carried out on the road vehicles on the road in the early and late peak period. The forbidden area is mainly three elevated roads, including the river viaduct, the northern viaduct, the Second Ring East Road, and the main and secondary main road in the city with serious congestion. The staff of the relevant departments said that the main main roads of the restricted main and secondary roads were mainly through the main road, such as the ten road and the source street, and the other congested main roads need further study and determination.
for the limitation of foreign cars, Professor Zhang Ruhua, director of the center for transportation planning, design and planning, Shandong University, said it was not optimistic. He believes that the current car in Ji'nan is still dominated by local cars. If we restrict foreign cars blindly, there will be no small side effects. "On the one hand, restricting foreign cars will discriminate against the impression of foreign cars and xenophobia. It will have an impact on the image of the city. On the other hand, the vehicles in the field generally come to Ji'nan to carry out business activities. It is necessary to drive their own cars, and it is not good to restrict the economic exchanges between the other cars in the field." Zhang Ruhua thinks, learn Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities to restrict the local car and local car governance "no hand", it can be foreseeable that the local car is still growing, so that neither the standard nor the governance.
Zhang Ruhua, an expert on traffic planning and design, suggested
center director of traffic planning and Design Institute of Shandong University. The main reason for traffic congestion at present is that there are too many vehicles. According to statistics, the number of motor vehicles in Ji'nan reached 1 million 675 thousand at the end of last year, of which 1 million 541 thousand vehicles were owned (with an average annual growth rate of 20.1%).
Zhang Ruhua thinks that the various policies that Ji'nan is going to introduce may be able to get instant results, but the measures such as restrictions on foreign cars are only temporary. "These policies are still a matter of avoidance. In less than a year or so, Ji'nan will still be in a mess. Because local or local private cars, like the peak trip and the restrictions on other cities are used for reference to other cities, it is not necessarily suitable for Ji'nan. Once the citizens see the traffic slightly relieved, they will begin to buy cars and travel frequently, so it is easy to cause congestion and congestion.
Zhang Ruhua said that Ji'nan should fundamentally block the traffic and start from two aspects: strict control of cars and vigorous development of public transport. In his words, we should "drive the car into the cage of taxes and fees" and "fully develop the green travel system". "Now the best way is to raise taxes and fees, including cars and parking, such as Hongkong, Singapore and other cities, such as the implementation of this, the cost of cars, cars increased, the people are sensitive to the price, do not buy cars, no cars, do not envy others, and naturally control driving travel."
