　　as introduced by liu xiaoming, deputy director of traffic and transportation administration committee of beijing municipality, so far there are 2.296 million motor-driven vehicles in beijing, which take up 32 percent in the outgoing traffic structure of the city, far outrunning the outgoing rate in the international metropolises of hong kong, tokyo, paris and new york and london as well. however, the number of motor vehicles in these cities exceeds by far that in beijing. and so it has to set a curb on the use of motor vehicles in order to make ease the traffic congestion in the downtowns of beijing

　　as learned in the period of the olympic games 2008, beijing will learn from the experiences of athens and sydney to set up special traffic lanes for olympic games on the 3rd and 4th ring roads and also employ intelligent traffic administration and control in order to solve the traffic congestion possible to happen in beijing.

　liu xiaoming said, "we'll learn from the experiences of athens and sydney to set up special traffic lanes for olympic games during the games period and by then there will be special loop lanes and network for the olympic games." according to the plan and along with the gradual completion of stadiums and gymnasiums for the olympic games beijing will start to set up special traffic lanes for the olympic games in 2007 with special lanes to be set up along the 3rd and 4th ring roads to form a loop. during the period for olympic games, no other vehicles in exception of the designated ones will be permitted to enter the road. 　　

use clean energy resources for reducing air pollution

　　the environment treatment in beijing is faced with the restriction of three major objective factors, said pei chenghu, deputy director of beijing environment protection bureau. first of all, the topography in beijing makes the air-pollution difficult to spread in time; the second is that some 40 percent of meteorological conditions in beijing are unfavorable for the diffusion of the air pollution and besides, beijing is affected by the sandstorms, an ecological factor every year from the surrounding areas.

　according to pei chenghu, we've already reached the grade-2 criterion for gas emission in europe last year and this year is going to achieve grade-3 standard for gas emission in europe. in addition, the municipal environment protection bureau requires that cleaning agent be added into the gas and for this the sino-pec and sino-chem have already promised to provide the oil samples.
