Car purchase will let go? Traffic management usher in the real test

whether it is a big city or group of second and third tier cities, each time to the rush hour, the road will be congested city huge traffic. Coupled with motorcycle traffic participants, non-motor vehicles and pedestrians, originally spacious, with unobstructed road has become a parking lot.



In view of this, some cities to organize urban transport the chaos began a policy of restricting car. By increasing the difficulty of the car, reducing car ownership in urban areas to reduce road congestion, but also to further improve urban air quality. The idea is good, but policymakers seem to forget that continuity, as well as the policy implications of economic law behind it. Superposition market environment factors, the most intuitive result is decline in automobile consumer market.

Earlier, the National Development and Reform Commission held a news conference, spokesman Meng Wei Development and Reform Commission for the operation of macroeconomic proposed three measures. For one of the automotive industry, it may be quite joyful message that you want to get rid of car consumption restrictions, including adjusting the car restriction policy.



in the past are quite single management ideas vehicles, either ban or limit, the car seems to irregularities often only two roads you can take. On the one hand, the economic environment changed for the better quality of life to enhance consumer demand, on the other hand is a demand for management and urban management. Originally the two are not contradictory, but it is becoming both sides competing under the guidance of the policy.



Assistant Secretary General of China Association of Automobile Manufacturers Chen Shihua said, ” the car is very important to our country’s pillar industries, probably accounted for about 10 percentage of total retail sales of social consumer, more than 10 percentage two years ago, on this country’s economic status or nonVery important. “



However, in the context of the purchase of the policy, plus the impact on the external environment factors, automobile consumption began to emerge from last year, from early signs of decline, the car market is still in the doldrums in October the national car sales 2.279 million, down 2.1 percentage;.. new energy vehicle sales 85,000, down 39.7 percentage. in this context, the stimulation of the automotive consumer market also imminent.



in fact, state and local deregulation in the release signal, including “further optimize the supply facilitate the implementation of programs to promote the steady growth of consumption to create a strong domestic market (2019),” released early, 6 published month “to promote the smooth upgrade of consumer goods focus on resource recycling plan” and in August the State Council issued “on accelerating the development of communication for commercial consumption.” are a clear signal of the need to promote automobile consumption and release.

but let go of the purchase, and management ideas seem very different parts of the city manager. Local environmental problems, the problem of traffic congestion for the city manager is urgent to solve the problem. Finally in order to come up with restrictions machine EMU to ease traffic congestion, but the move but deep impact on the economic development of related industries, thereby affecting the level of retail sales of social consumer and a series of economic problems.



On the one hand is the banner of the economy, on the other hand is the city management. car ownership increased to generate traffic congestion, there it could not escape the responsibility lies, but think of another angle, we really do planning of urban roads good enough? traffic space road user traffic grooming, automotive and non-motor vehicles, pedestrians, are guaranteed yet?



Academy of Engineering Singapore Li-hung said in an interview when he domestic first-tier urban centers is difficult to have space to build, widen more roads. Between the traffic and the road infrastructure is difficult to increase the expansion of the conflict, in fact, there is a solution, and that is to improve the efficiency of road use.

to improve the efficiency of road use proposition, not simply control of private cars will be able to achieve. Also we need investment in public transport and construction, to create three-dimensional ecological public transport system to meet the needs of the population use.



of the bicycle to travel from the base, non-motor vehicles, in fact, We have been able to solve the commuting needs of a considerable number of workers. The original planning and non-motorized vehicles to fix a good, reasonable and legitimate security responsibilities and rights of non-motorized vehicles used to guide people to use simple, convenient means of transport.




and the bus, subway and other areas the introduction of special road car and other measures, in order to guarantee the smooth flow of buses running lines and speedy passage. At the same time, the level of public transport vehicles should be further enhanced configuration. If you look carefully buses usually ride, we will find enough original capacity models have been replaced by miniaturized electric vehicles; for the time being is not the table of pure electric rationality, one on each one of the transport capacity, there’s no doubt the decline, coupled with the restriction of the traffic situation changes and speed of the bus a “turtle” on the road. This is obviously not a typical example to enhance the efficiency of travel, eventually leading to a public waiting too long, and each train is overcrowded.


Moreover, the road speed limit also needsoptimize. Guangzhou, for example, many urban trunk road speed limit at 60km / h, seemingly slow pace under some of the driver’s “slow down” the butterfly effect, even driving speed are lower than the speed limit. Sophisticated technological means

artificial intelligence, big data, you can find the root cause for the traffic problems and remedy. To create a platform to information about traffic, data will be collected convergence integration, then as drawing lines on the road, planning and construction to divert traffic and other work to refine optimization, is the traffic management department should be done. Open car purchase for consumers is a good thing, but the traffic post-release optimization and consolidation is a top priority. Once again fall into the “congestion – limit – let go – and then jam – then restricted” infinite loop, for consumers, markets, departments are detrimental.
