Abstract:In order to perfect the planning and integrated traffic system of mountainous city, it is required to further study the planning and design of arterial roads of mountainous city. By analyzing the old urban area and new area development modes of mountainous city, the function of the arterial roads in the mountainous city is analyzed. The characters of mountainous city are analyzed from the aspects of topography, urban spatial layout, transportation and road network. On this basis, aiming at the particularities of the arterial road planning and design of mountainous city in the aspects of functional orientation, technical standard and traffic organization, combined with the construction case of arterial roads in Guiyang, the technical suggestions of functional standards, traffic corridor, geometric design, cross section and new technical idea of arterial roads in mountainous city are put forward. Finally, the development orientation mountainous city road construction is pointed out.
