Features: The "traffic design" concept proposed in this "Guide" is different from the traditional "traffic engineering design" or "traffic facility design." It aims to provide technical and professional personnel in urban traffic planning, design, construction, and management with a systematic traffic design method focused on the goals of urban road traffic smoothness and safety. The main contents include: basic concepts and content of traffic design; data collection, investigation, and analysis for traffic design; design of traffic space; design of traffic control signal timing; evaluation of traffic design plans, etc.; finally, a collection of successful practical examples from some cities in China is summarized, providing practical references for utilizing this "Guide." This "Guide" not only provides strong technical support for the emerging "smooth traffic" initiative but also helps to change the previous "civil engineering-oriented" trend in China's traffic facility construction. It is also a valuable reference for students and researchers in "traffic engineering" and "traffic design." This book can serve as a reference for technical and professional personnel in urban traffic planning, design, construction, and management. It is also suitable for students and teaching/research personnel in relevant major colleges and universities for learning and reference.
