In modern life we have to face many problems – one of biggest is traffic congestion which is becoming more serious by the day. The major cause leading to jams, gridlocked roads, fumes and stressed drivers is the increased number of vehicles caused by the growing population and the development of the economy.

On Saturday (22 September), the Mongolian capital will experiment with another car ban with a large zone set aside for pedestrians and cyclists. The no-car area will cover the heart of the city between the West and East Four-way Intersections on Peace Avenue. The restrictions will come into force at 08.00 am local time and will last until 05.00 pm.

A total of 260 police officers will be deployed to check on drivers and implement registration.
