Designed to reduce traffic congestion in the Central Business District (CBD), the key concept underlying the ALS was that a special supplementary licence had to be obtained at a cost if a motorist wanted to enter the CBD’s restricted zone (RZ). The ALS was the world’s first area licensing scheme when it was launched in Singapore. It was one of a series of stringent measures undertaken by the Singapore government to ease traffic congestion in the city area. Other traffic management measures introduced at that time included the Park-and-Ride scheme and car pooling. | [Area Licensing Scheme] -- Traffic congestion in the CBD -- Addressing the congestion problem -- Concept underlying the ALS -- Launch of the ALS -- Success of the ALS -- Shortcomings of the ALS -- Replacement of the ALS -- Timeline -- References. | Area Licensing Scheme--Singapore|Urban transportation policy--Singapore|City traffic--Singapore | Politics and Government {18336134}|Transportation law {18336582}|Transportation Policy {18336577}|Transportation {18336129}|Law {18486590} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126}|NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
