In the year 2008, there are over 3-million cars and 18-million people using the roads, this crowd really shows how Beijing is. Existing transport facilities are already unable to deal with the increasing traffic pressure. In recent years, traffic jams on major Beijing roads have been getting more and more frequent. Traffic pressure in Beijing is one big headache for its residents and city planners.
Through the press conference, Quan Yongshen, Director of Beijing Municipal Communications Research Center said the provision of public transportation facilities must be accelerated. This is few ways how government tried to solve the problem of too many vehicles in Beijing. An efficient road network is built connecting 10 new towns which located around the city, and there are another 15 arteries will link the central area and expressways, to the highest standards and the greatest possible capacity of transportation.
By last 2006, subway lines extend from the current 53 km to 138 km, and an important project three years in the making, the 98km-long 5th ring road, opened for traffic. It connects with all the expressways radiating from Beijing. Its completion will definitely help relieve traffic pressure in the city center. These few ways have been decrease the problem of too many vehicles which leads to traffic jam in Beijing.
