Can out-of-town vehicles drive to Tiananmen Square?

You can drive to Tiananmen Square, but cars with restricted license plates from other provinces and cities will also follow Beijing’s last-number restrictions, and are allowed on days other than those with last-number restrictions.

The last-number traffic restriction system is a traffic system created to alleviate urban traffic pressure. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics test competition, Beijing began to restrict traffic with odd and even numbers. On odd-number days, only private cars with an odd number at the end of the car number can be on the road. On even-number days, only private cars with an even number at the end of the car number can be on the road.

After the implementation of the measures, it will play a role in alleviating urban traffic congestion. In October 2012, the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission stated that it would launch a study on measures to ensure smooth traffic in 2013 and evaluate the odd and even number restrictions on motor vehicles in specific areas during specific periods; October 8 to November 7, April 10, 2015 , the Beijing Municipal Public Security and Traffic Management Department stated that pure electric passenger cars (new energy vehicles) will not be within the scope of motor vehicle last number restrictions, and the specific implementation time will be announced separately.
