Existing transport facilities are already unable to deal with the increasing traffic pressure. In recent years, traffic jams on major Beijing roads have been getting more and more frequent. Traffic pressure in Beijing is one big headache for its residents and city planners. Through the press conference. Quan Yongshen, Director of Beijing Municipal communications research center said the provision of public transportation facilities must be accelerated. This is few ways how government tried to solve the problem of too many vehicles in Beijing. An efficient road network is built connecting 10 new towns which located around the city, and there are another 15 arteries will link the central area and expressways. By the last 2006, subway lines extend from the current 53km to 128km, and the 98km-lonh 5th ring road opennes for traffic. Its completion will definitely help relieve traffic preasure in the city center of Beijing.
