traffic hotspots 重点路段
Beijing to push sedan toll at traffic hotspots -- Sedan drivers in Beijing may be forced to pay a toll for driving on the heavy-traffic roads as the capital vows to make public transport 50 percent of the total traffic by 2015, chinanews.com reported on Friday. 北京将在重点路段对私家车收费——据中国新闻网周五报道,北京宣称将在2015年前实现公共交通占总车流量的50%,为此北京将可能在交通拥堵路段对私家车征收费用。 标题中的traffic hotspots就是交通特别繁忙的“重点路段”,也就是heavy-traffic roads(交通拥堵路段)。北京将可能征收的这项费用也就是之前有人提出过的congestion fee(交通拥堵费)。必要时北京还有可能实行odd-and-even license plate rule(单双号限行)措施。 征收拥堵费是为了实现“十二五”时期的"Green Beijing" Development Guidelines(“绿色北京”发展规划)。规划中提出,北京将鼓励市民使用zero-emission transportations(零排放交通工具),如自行车等,并完善重点区域的bike paths(自行车道)建设。 |
