Another Chinese solution!

As you know, the aim of this blog is to talk about pollution, but also to try to find solutions. Here is an example of a solution found by Beijing Government.

People that were in Beijing during the Sino-African summit in November remember that during all the summit, we had a wonderful weather. Coincidence or Chinese miracle?

I found back among my emails the instructions from the Circulation Bureau for the summit. Here below are some of these instructions (see on the map):
  • 80% of service vehicles (vehicles from administrations) shall stay parked
  • no trucks allowed within 4th ring road
  • cars from other provinces not allowed in town
  • working hours changed in many companies
  • empty taxis not allowed on some main avenues
  • ...

      • SinoAfrican Forum Traffic Map
      This solution worked well for a two days diplomatic summit, but how will it work during the month-long 2008 Olympics? Do you have some clues?
