Galápagos is a region of Ecuador. In this place, there is a regulation that defines the maximum number of vehicles that circulate. Are there any more?
Yes, Singapore is probably the most suitable example because it is a city-state, and an island, and so it has complete control over the number of vehicles within its territory. There is a quota in place (adjusted annually) for every type of private vehicle, administered through a Certificate of Entitlement (COE).
Singapore - 500'000 vehicle number plates, certificate valid for 10 years., monthly auctions of 500'000 divided by 10 divided by 12 number plates.
Wengen and Zermatt in Switzerland - zero vehicles, except electric vans for delivery services to hotels.
i think Beijing since 2014, with a system similar to Singapore.
there must be other ones.
A number of Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Guiyang and Tianjin have introduced a ceiling on the number of new car plates allocated each year. This works towards determining the maximum number of vehicles that can circulate.
Car quotas are applied to different degrees in many Chinese cities: Beijing, Shanghai, Guiyang ... name a few

Many MEGA cities in China are defining a kind of maximum amount of vehicles. For instance, Beijing vehicles increased 100,000 every year, compare to its total amount 6,000,000. It almost set the largest amount.
