Abstract: Under the situation of rapid development of urban vehicles, worsening traffic congestion and the energy shortage, slow traffic system reflects concept of sustainable development of people-oriented and green environmental protection which is attracting more and more attention and recognition from the citizens. The efficient slow traffic system can not only save energy and alleviate the urban traffic congestion, but also improve the comfort and security of the citizens and guide them to form a new concept of green travel. In recent years, Guangzhou has set up the slow traffic system which based on the development of the Asian Games’ greenway, but on the detail design and user’s experience is questionable. This article will be based on the analysis and summary of the existing domestic and foreign slow system development model and the actual case studies. Then draw lessons from the experience, study the case of Ersha Island and combine with existing design of the greenway in Guangzhou. Use the bottom-up perspective to explore the slow traffic system design in central city of Guangzhou. In the future development, we should optimize for the detailed design in slow traffic system construction as well as the relevant planning and policy, and finally to promote the development of slow traffic system.

Abstract: With the rapid development of economy, the city scale expands unceasingly. Some problem reveals gradually, such as the traffic congestion and declining air quality. The low carbon city, the concept of low-carbon transport becomes hotspot of urban construction gradually. Correlational study of slow traffic system from the low-carbon perspective has been reviewed. Taking Songhua River Summer Resort City master planning (2012-2030) as the foundation, based on low carbon, the paper analyzes slow traffic system planning of Summer Resort City, and conclude the problem. Based on low carbon, optimization strategies of slow traffic system have been proposed. It provides advice to low-carbon emission reduction and effective and efficient development of city road system planning.

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.
