Abstract:With the rapid economic development, the urban road network continues to expand, so that the surrounding road functions of the city continue to improve, and gradually develop into a suburban arterial road with both highway and urban road functions. In order to further improve the traffic safety level of suburban arterial roads and improve and refine the traffic safety evaluation of suburban arterial roads, this paper first analyzes and summarizes the main contents and evaluation methods of suburban arterial road safety evaluation from the perspective of norms, and then takes the suburban arterial road combining an urban expressway and a ground-level highway in Zhangjiagang City as an example, combines the design scheme evaluation and analyzes the key points that need to be paid attention to in the safety evaluation in the design stage, and puts forward targeted improvement measures. It provides some experience summary and technical reference for the traffic safety evaluation of suburban arterial roads.
