There has been speculation recently that big cities, like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, may implement policies banning cars.
For urban traffic management, car restrictions are simple, convenient, easy to operate, quick effect, but do not fundamentally solve the urban traffic congestion and also caused the public from all walks of life to question the lazy political solutions. The real solution to urban traffic is to improve the level of comprehensive urban traffic management.
China must profoundly understand and grasp the laws governing the development of modern cities and traffic, and guide traffic to achieve scientific and orderly development. In response to problems such as traffic jams, chaotic parking order, low level of public transport services, and low proportion of green trips, the comprehensive transportation system was improved through planning and guidance, facilities construction, demand regulation, and strengthening management.
China will comprehensively deepen the reform of key areas and key links in the transportation industry, crack down on deep-seated contradictions and problems that affect traffic development, give full play to the decisive role of the market in resource allocation, and accelerate the establishment of institutional mechanisms conducive to the construction of a modern comprehensive transportation system. Strengthen the innovation drive, let the innovation runs through all areas of transportation, and comprehensively promote the modernization of the transportation industry governance system and governance capabilities.
To lead the modernization of urban transportation with innovative science and technology, encourage scientific and technological innovation in the transportation industry, accelerate the construction of informatization and smart transportation systems, and improve the management and service level of transportation.
To focus on sustainable development, focus on the development strategy of improving the ecological environment and controlling air pollution, China will carry out the planning and construction of the transportation system in accordance with the concept of green cycling and low carbon. China will vigorously develop low-carbon, high-efficiency, and large-capacity public transportation systems, promote green travel, and optimize urban traffic travel structures.
Last but not least, to establish a humane purpose for the planning and construction of transportation facilities and transportation services, provide diversified and optional transportation services, and use citizen satisfaction as the basic standard for evaluating the development of transportation. The importance of urban traffic order and safety maintenance is highly valued, to create a safe and orderly traffic environment.
