City proposes restrictions on vehicle sales Traffic skyrockets as cars outstrip people.

Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra has proposed an initiative to ban new car purchases for people who don't have a place to park their vehicles, as part of a raft of new measures to combat traffic congestion.

Speaking at a forum on city traffic management Wednesday, the governor said car buyers should have to bring proof to the dealership that they have parking spots or they would not be allowed to purchase a car.

Other suggestions to tackle traffic include the introduction of fines for parking along roads and causing congestion in business districts; and higher parking fees at lots in central Bangkok to encourage drivers to leave their vehicles at home.
