Abstract:With the continuous expansion of core area in each city of China, the central urban area and the new town are rapidly integrated towards the direction of urban development. The existing national highways and expressways can no longer meet the needs of commuting traffic and logistics transportation. Taking the metropolitan area in the main urban area of Chongqing as an example, the present problems are analyzed, and the problems in the urban integration traffic operation of the existing expressways, national highways and provincial trunk roads are listed. The assumption of building the expressway network in the metropolitan area of the main urban area and forming a multi-level road network structure complementary to the expressways is proposed, which has some guiding significance for promoting the regional economic development and optimizing the road network structure, and provides some reference for the planning of expressway networks in the similar cities.
