Abstract

Starting from the definition of slow traffic system, taking Harbin for example, and by analyzing the characteristics and trip features of slow traffic system in cold region, the paper proposes that the central area should increase the pedestrian streets and underground warm gallery in cold city to improve walking environment in winter. At the same time, the paper puts forward that road cross- section planning and design should emphasis focus on the safety of non-motorized mode, and proposes specific measures, such as setting limited time of non-motorized vehicle lanes, slow integration design of non-motor vehicle lanes and sidewalk.
