Only vehicles with an odd number registration plate, electric or hybrid cars or ones with three or more people on board will be allowed to drive on Wednesday ( Dec 7).

The rule will not impact emergency vehicles or vehicles used for delivering food or foreign vehicles.

Tuesday saw only even-numbered plates allowed on the roads.

It means public transport will once again be free.
