As one of the efficient travel demand management approaches, vehicle restriction policy has been widely implemented worldwide. However, non-compliant behaviours occur and undermine such a policy. Maintaining a long-term deterrent effect on individuals is crucial. This study conducts an empirical analysis to investigate whether the vehicle restriction policy can prevent non-compliant behaviours in the long run. On the basis of a newly implemented vehicle restriction policy, i.e. odd-and-even policy in Langfang, China, compliance duration that represents the period from the beginning of the policy to the first rule-breaking behaviour of an individual is investigated by applying survival analyses. Moreover, this study proves the existence of inertia in rule-breaking behaviour. Findings reveal that a considerable proportion of vehicles would commit their first offence within a short period of time after the policy coming into force. Inertia would further increase the frequency of rule-breaking behaviour. Thus, vehicle restriction policy can hardly maintain a long-term deterrent effect. This study provides implications for understanding the deterrent effect of transportation policies and offers insights into policy improvement.
