Reasons behind the restriction of even and odd numbers in Shijiazhuang

The reason behind the restriction of even and odd numbers in Shijiazhuang is the poor air quality.

Emergency headquarters Office of Heavy Pollution Weather in Shijiazhuang upgraded the orange warning of heavy pollution weather to a red warning, and started the Class I emergency response. According to the provincial ecological environment emergency and heavy pollution weather early warning center and China National Environmental Monitoring Center, the provincial meteorological disaster prevention and environmental meteorological center jointly discussed.

Since June 24, 2023, the diffusion conditions in Shijiazhuang have deteriorated, pollutants have continued to accumulate, and the air quality may be moderate to severe pollution.

In order to reduce the impact of heavily polluted weather on public health, it was judged by the municipal meteorological department and the municipal ecological environment department and reported to emergency headquarters for approval. 65438 From 7: 00 on February 25th, 2023, the orange warning was upgraded to the red warning, and the Class I emergency response to heavy polluted weather was started. The release time will be announced separately.

According to the requirements of the Proposal Letter of the Provincial Atmospheric Office on Starting Motor Vehicle Single and Double Number Restriction Measures, during the Class I emergency response in heavily polluted weather, traffic management measures (including foreign vehicles and vehicles with temporary license plates) for motor vehicles with single and double numbers will be implemented in areas within the Third Ring Road (including) and urban areas of counties (cities, districts), and license plates will be used from 7: 00 to 20: 00 every day (including legal holidays, Saturdays and Sundays).

Single-day single-number traffic, unparalleled vehicles; If the suffix is letters or Chinese characters, the last digit shall prevail. During the restriction period, postal express vehicles, special vehicles for the disabled, new energy vehicles and other specific vehicles approved according to actual conditions and relevant policies are excluded.

Not the first time:

In fact, this is not the first time that Shijiazhuang has implemented single and double number restrictions. As early as 20 14, Shijiazhuang took similar measures because of air quality problems. At that time, the restriction measures were effective and the air quality was improved to some extent.

However, with the increase of the number of motor vehicles in cities, the problem of air pollution has become serious again. Therefore, the government decided to implement the odd and even number restriction again to protect the air quality in Shijiazhuang. Shijiazhuang citizens showed great understanding and support for this restriction.

In addition, the Shijiazhuang Municipal Government has taken a series of supporting measures to ensure the implementation effect of the purchase restriction policy. For example, increase investment in public transport, improve the convenience and comfort of public transport, and encourage citizens to choose public transport. At the same time, strengthen the punishment for illegal vehicles and ensure the implementation of the restriction policy.
