road space rationing

Road space rationing is a traffic management strategy that limits vehicle access in certain areas or times to reduce congestion and pollution. Authorities often assign specific driving days based on license plate numbers or alternate days for different groups of vehicles. This approach encourages people to use public transportation, carpool, or travel only when necessary, ultimately easing traffic flow and lowering emissions. It’s typically implemented in densely populated cities facing heavy congestion or environmental concerns, helping balance transportation needs with sustainable urban living.
