You can drive within the Fifth Ring Road after 8 pm without a Beijing Entry Permit. Here are the details: Traffic Restrictions: In 2019, Beijing's traffic restrictions were as follows: Local vehicles were restricted from 7:00 to 20:00 from Monday to Friday (except legal holidays). Non-local vehicles were prohibited from entering within the Fifth Ring Road during two time periods: 7:00-9:00 and 17:00-20:00 for passenger cars, and from 9:00 to 17:00, they were restricted based on the last digit of their license plate. If caught, penalties include: Local vehicles face fines without point deductions. Non-local vehicles face fines and a deduction of 3 points. You won't be penalized again within 3 hours of being fined, so you can immediately leave the restricted area or find a parking spot. However, if you're caught violating the restrictions again after 3 hours, you may be penalized multiple times. Legal Provisions: According to the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Beijing Municipal Air Pollution Prevention and Control Regulations," except for the motor vehicles specified in the first provision, other motor vehicles in the city are subject to traffic restriction measures based on the last digit of their license plate during weekday peak hours. The restriction time is from 7:00 to 20:00, and the restricted area is within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding the Fifth Ring Road itself).
