With this policy, the scale of consumers who may have a car one in five (1:5) aka 20 percent. However, consumers who specialized old car accident (can not be used), can buy a new vehicle using the old police numbers.

In addition to cutting the sale, the Beijing government still had other tricks to reduce congestion. The government also would prohibit the operation of cars that come from outside the area at rush hour.
