Abstract:The city development results in the traffic congestion at grade intersection of central urban area, and is a macro-to-micro systematic problem. From the perspective of micro traffic improvement design, the engineering characteristics of the grade intersection reconstruction in central urban area are analyzed and set forth in the aspects of identifying the core contradiction, defining the reconstruction scope, determining the reconstruction scheme, and the assessment and feedback. Relying on the engineering practices, the essentials of traffic improvement design at grade intersection of central urban area are summarized, which can be referred for the practice and study of the similar projects.
