China’s eastern Zhejiang province is proposing to allow its cities to limit the number of new vehicles to control traffic congestion, the latest in the world’s largest auto market to consider such restrictions.

The Zhejiang legislative affairs office held a briefing today in the provincial capital of Hangzhou to discuss the draft plan released last week, according to a statement posted on its website. The plan included provisions empowering cities to limit the issue of new vehicle-license plates, increase parking charges and improve public transportation.
