The point of this initiative is to put a significant portion of the main transport arteries underground. To this end, it is planned to build a whole network of interconnected tunnels. Spacious parking lots for cars will also be located underground. In addition, shopping centers and office spaces will appear there.

As the authors of the new traffic scheme claim, underground highways will completely solve the problem of traffic jams. In addition, the air in Beijing should become much cleaner (currently it is heavily polluted — in one day the capital emits as many harmful substances as large European cities do in a week), since exhaust from tunnels will be passed through special purification filters.

It is worth noting that Beijing is currently really choking from transport. There are too many cars, traffic is constantly difficult, and giant congestion occurs. Moreover, the situation worsens every year. If currently about 5 million cars move around the city daily, then in 5–7 years this number will grow to 8–10 million.

Beijing authorities have already decided to artificially limit the purchase of new cars. Previously, a person first bought a car and then registered it, but now the procedure will change. Selling a car will be possible only if there is a registration plate. And the number of such plates, as it is easy to guess, will be strictly limited — only 240 thousand numbers are planned to be issued for the whole of Beijing per year. And this is despite the fact that the city's population, according to various estimates, reaches 18 million people! Only car owners who have a garage or a parking space will be able to get a number.

Moreover, this rule applies only to native Beijing residents with permanent registration. For non-residents wishing to register a car in the capital, it will be necessary to provide a five-year employment contract with a Beijing company, an official document on rental housing, a tax service permit for purchasing a car, and other papers! Some may assume that it is easier for residents of other regions to register a car at home and then calmly come to Beijing? Not so! The authorities intend to stop cars with foreign plates at the city entrance and require a special pass — it will soon become mandatory for entering Beijing. In addition, from 2011, the principle of “one person — one car” is being introduced. That is, if you already have a car, you simply will not be allowed to buy a second one.
