Although, I have to admit that this option sounds a bit 'drastic' - suggesting that NO vehicles are allowed in the town...which is probably not the case...although technically it could be an accurate translation, depending on the nature of this 'repression'.

I have just seen Odette's answer and this meaning hadn't occurred to me... if it is the case, then you could possibly use the term 'crackdown' - as in 'a crackdown on vehicles'... hard to say from the context given.
