As much of my family lives in Greece, I have seen how they
have started to deal with this problem.  Only half of the
cars are allowed into the bigger cities on any given weekday.  If 
your licence plate ends in an odd number, you can only
drive in the cities in odd days (and even on even days).  
It works, but the congestion in Athens is as bad as New
York anyway.  I can't imagine what it must have been like
before this rule.
