Article Preview

Abstract:

Urban non-motorized transportation is the walking and cycling transportation. With the speeding up of China's urbanization, there is a rapidly increasing number of motor vehicles and the illegal parking phenomenon is serious, the space of pedestrians and cyclists is squeezed, the accidents of pedestrian and rider are increasing. Pedestrian and rider are suffered in inconvenience. This paper discusses the advantages of non-motorized transportation which is including environmental value, social value and aesthetic value. This article draws lessons from recent research and provides the human-oriented strategy of Chinese non-motorized transportation which includes the reasonable layout of city transportation network,detailed division and diversified pattern of land use,the safety transportation infrastructure,the high quality environment of the street and the public policy to promote non-motorized transportation.
