What Are the Characteristics of Urban Roads?
1 Answers
Urban roads have the following specific characteristics: High pedestrian volume: Urban areas have high population density, especially during peak commuting hours, leading to crowded sidewalks. Some pedestrians lack safety awareness and knowledge of traffic regulations, resulting in violations such as occupying vehicle lanes. In areas without safety barriers or at intersections without traffic signals, pedestrians often cross roads or walk on vehicle lanes indiscriminately. High vehicle volume: Due to rapid economic development, the number of vehicles in cities is increasing daily. There are numerous taxis and minibuses, and some drivers have weak traffic regulation awareness, driving irregularly, competing for right of way, parking arbitrarily, and obstructing other vehicles. Insufficient road infrastructure: Roads are fundamental urban infrastructure. Although cities have invested heavily in road maintenance and upgrades, various factors mean that current road conditions still fall far short of meeting modern transportation needs.
