Sichuan News Net - Chengdu Evening News According to statistics, Chengdu has about 1.03 million cars at the beginning of the year, of which more than 88% are private cars, and it has become China's "third-city private car." According to the trend of Chengdu's car sales in the past two years, Chengdu's annual average automobile sales growth is 19.55%. However, by 2002, new vehicles exceeded 100,000 vehicles, an increase of more than 30%. Last year alone, the number of new cars reached 260,000, of which private cars reached 250,000. It can be seen that private car purchases in Chengdu have entered a period of rapid growth. By October 2003, the number of new private cars in Chengdu still exceeded 30%. In the few days after the National Day holiday, an average of 600 new cars each day went to the Chengdu Vehicle Administration's license plate. Such a large car consumption has created a prosperous Chengdu auto market. Consumers in Chengdu are undoubtedly happy. The private car consumption in Chengdu has advantageous conditions that many cities cannot match. There is no restriction on buying cars. According to the policies of major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, micro-vehicles with a displacement of 1.0 or less are restricted in urban areas. This undoubtedly excludes most citizens from the consumer market of private cars. In Chengdu, not only did there not be such restrictions, Li Chuncheng and other leading comrades also clearly stated that Chengdu’s automobile consumption policy is only environmental protection. In the process of car purchase approval, the Chengdu Public Security Department also introduced a series of convenience measures in 2003 that required simplifying various complicated procedures so that citizens could drive on the road earlier. In addition, Chengdu does not produce household cars locally, and all domestic brands of cars enter Chengdu with fair competition opportunities. There is no consumer discrimination policy for foreign brands, which also makes more brand new cars willing to go to Chengdu to try their hand. Broader roads
In terms of traffic environment, the streets of many old urban areas in Chengdu are currently undergoing reconstruction. Red Star Road, Dongdajie, Dongchenggen Street and other roads are now under intense construction. The use of underpass tunnels and the construction of new arterial roads has also caused traffic congestion. The flow of traffic in the area is increased by at least two to three times. In recent years, a number of overpasses such as the Second Ring Road and Third Ring Road have been built, as well as Qinglongchang and Renmin South Road. The total length of urban roads is 757 kilometers. In comparison with 14 large and medium-sized cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin, and Chongqing, Chengdu has ranked first in road density, plus the 84km expressway that has been opened to traffic, and the mileage of the Chengdu Expressway has also reached 358km. Followed by Chongqing ranked second. The continuous improvement of traffic conditions in Chengdu provides an excellent "stage" for the city's private car development. The difficulty of parking in parking lots has always been the biggest problem in the development of private cars in major cities. It is reported that, according to the international popular car matching 1.4 berths, the construction of parking lots, including most cities in the country, is lagging behind the overall development of the city. At present, the number of parking spaces in Guangzhou with 500,000 vehicles is 60%. In order to improve the current parking situation in Chengdu, Chengdu Traffic Management Bureau and related departments have introduced various solutions. They first encouraged local public places and agencies to try to get out of the open space, open the building to attract social vehicles, avoid vehicles taking up slow lanes and sidewalks, and then they also tapped potentials in the surrounding areas of the commercial center and use the streets with less traffic to open. One-sided parking lot to meet the temporary parking of vehicles. In addition, Chengdu’s residential quarters also have parking lots at night, without affecting the function of road access, so that Chengdu’s growing number of private cars are “homeâ€. Moreover, Chengdu's units, residents' yards, property management, and individuals can open parking lots. As long as they submit a valid site use certificate, they can go to the Traffic Management Bureau to apply for the “recording†formalities for starting a parking lot.
With the improvement of various licenses, the entire new car user in Chengdu is now required to complete the procedure from the extension number to the driver’s license in one and a half hours, plus the insurance, purchase fee, and road maintenance fee. It takes up to half a day to purchase a new car and complete all the formalities. In order to serve the public conveniently and quickly, the Chengdu City Vehicle Administration Bureau has paid close attention to modern management and recently implemented a computer random number selection. The license plate number is publicized, with 80 numbers for each segment. People on the card can select any number of 80 numbers, which greatly facilitates the user. The Chengdu Vehicle Administration Institute also responded to the car owner’s psychological characteristics of buying cars. From August this year, the number of license plates with an ending number of “4†was removed from the selection pool.
