In Athens, car owners can only enter the city center on alternate days based on their vehicle's license plate number. Even-numbered plates may drive in on even days, while odd-numbered plates are allowed on odd days, effectively keeping 50% of cars off the streets daily. This regulation aims to combat pollution, which is monitored continuously. In times of high pollution, all cars are banned from the city center. The city's hope lies in the completion of an extended underground railway, potentially easing current traffic restrictions.

Athens, Greece Eimantė Kupčiūnaitė, IIe
In athens, car owners are only allowed to drive into the city centre every other day. They must match the final number of their car number plate to the day’s date.
If the date is an even, and so is the final number of the number plate, then they can enter the inner-city area. The same goes for odd number plates and odd dates.
This means that 50 per cent of all cars must stay at home each day. Pollution is measured every day, and when the levels of pollution get too high, all cars are banned from entering the city centre.
However, as the new underground railway is completed and extended, it is hoped that soon more commuters will be travelling by Metro. If so, it may be possible to lift the present traffic restrictions.
