Article Preview

Abstract:

By the context of the tightening energy supply, growing environmental crisis and urban traffic congestion in current China, non-motorized traffic system provides new solutions. This paper learns from the ideas of planning and design of non-motorized traffic system in the other cities and explores the planning of Hangzhou non-motorized traffic system by the key control approach of zoning and classification. The studies show that the non-motorized traffic system planning in Hangzhou mainly proceeds from the pedestrian traffic system and non-motorized transportation system guides the traveling public with a concept of green travel. And it will contribute to achieving cities’ sustainable development by planning an efficient non-motorized traffic system.
