Abstract:The construction of urban expressway is an important means for cities to widen development framework, expand road capacity and alleviate traffic congestion. In the light of Shijiazhuang"s experience in the planning and construction of the urban expressway network, this paper analyzes the complex functional orientations of expressways in the central urban areas, taking into account the multiple functions of road capacity expansion, emergency rescue access and upgrading of the standards of arterial roads. It finds that the entrance and exit of expressways should combined with intersecting arterial roads and be set at the intersection as far as possible, and should be measured by the scale of urban development and the density of road network. It is expected to provide some useful references for the planning and design of urban research expressway network in the future.
