Manila, Philippines: Coding System Based on License Plate Numbers
In Manila, a unique traffic reduction strategy is implemented, where the ability to drive on certain days is determined by the last digit of your vehicle’s license plate. Known as the ‘Number Coding Scheme’, it aims to reduce congestion in the city. Violating this system can lead to fines and even vehicle impounding. This law represents a creative approach to urban traffic management, reflecting the challenges and innovative solutions required in densely populated cities.
