I guess 2 months traffic control might turn Beijing into a more environmental friendly place. Its easy for me to support for this policy, since i am not physically in Beijing. Chinese government is trying really hard to make this game perfect, wish this would be another best Olympic game in the history.

Kelly.

Thanks for the link.

To be clear, I am not worrying… both Beijing and Tianjin have announced their traffic restrictions, and both cities are baning trucks with plates from outside the city to pass through the city. This will mean that a truck coming from a supplier will not be able to deliver within city limits for 2 months.

At the very least, it will force costs up as a transhipment will need to occur outside the city.
