The northern Chinese city of Harbin has introduced a system of traffic control similar to that used at last summer’s Olympic Games to ease traffic flows and cut traffic pollution during the 24th Winter Universiade, which is set to open on February 18.
The traffic control policy will restrict vehicles from operating on 19 major routes in the city according to their license plate number – even numbers will operate on alternate days from odd numbers.
A further 47 city center streets have been dedicated as special lanes for Winter Universiade and are only open to vehicles serving the events including city buses and taxis.
The event, which will operate from February 18-28, is expected to attract over 3,800 athletes from 44 countries and regions.
The special traffic control measures will operate until March 1.
