Unlike congestion pricing systems, it does not operate on the basis of drivers paying fees for entering the city centre. Instead, it depends on the Parity (mathematics), parity of the date and of the vehicle's registration plate, the vehicle type as well as the time of the week/month. There are two ''Daktylios'' areas. Inner ''Daktylios'' Vehicles are allowed into the Inner (or Small) ''Daktylios'', which covers a small area in the city center, depending primarily on the Parity (mathematics), parity of the date and of the vehicle's registration plate, the vehicle type as well as the time of the week/month. On odd dates, only vehicles with an o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Road Space Rationing
Road space rationing, also known as alternate-day travel, driving restriction and no-drive days ( es, restricción vehicular; pt, rodízio veicular; french: circulation alternée), is a travel demand management strategy aimed to reduce the negative externalities generated by urban air pollution or peak urban travel demand in excess of available supply or road capacity, through artificially restricting demand (vehicle travel) by rationing the scarce common good road capacity, especially during the peak periods or during peak pollution events. This objective is achieved by restricting traffic access into an urban cordon area, city center (CBD), or district based upon the last digits of the license number on pre-established days and during certain periods, usually, the peak hours. The practical implementation of this traffic restraint policy is common in Latin America, and in many cases, the road rationing has as a main goal the reduction of air pollution, such as the cases of M ...
