Mongolia's capital halts issuance of vehicle license plates www.xinhuanet.com
Mongolia's capital Ulan Bator has stopped issuing new vehicle license plates in an effort to reduce traffic congestion, effective Friday, according to the municipal government of Ulan Bator on Saturday.
"It is said that as the number of imported cars in Ulan Bator increases, the measures implemented to address the city's congestion have become ineffective. Therefore, starting Nov. 8, it was decided not to issue new Ulan Bator license plates for imported cars," the municipal government said in a statement.
Traffic congestion has been one of the most pressing issues in Ulan Bator, which is home to about half of Mongolia's 3.5-million population.
In the first 10 months of this year, Mongolia imported 104,742 passenger cars, a 71.7 percent increase from the same period last year, as well as 24,632 trucks, which represents a 43.3 percent increase, according to the Mongolian Customs General Administration.
The Citizens' Representative Council of Ulan Bator has approved a resolution setting a cap on the number of registered vehicles in the city at 730,000. However, there are currently 800,000 vehicles with Ulan Bator license plates.
