Interesting question.
Beijing has huge problems with traffic jams and the CCP has has taken some extreme measures to limit the number of cars there. E.g. they practically don't issue registration numbers for ICE vehicles and there's a queue for EV registration numbers, that currently goes to 2035 (if you join the queue now you'll get a reg number in 2035).
Some cities with heavy traffic in Europe and China have implemented rules, like only cars with even registration numbers are allowed to drive on Mondays.

When this was applied in some European city (Paris?) there was a joke - "The rich got around this by using two cars. The poor got around it by using two number-plates".
