Led Smart Crosswalks significantly improve traffic

The Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau has always regarded the management of traffic congestion points as one of the key tasks of the bureau. Led Smart Crosswalks governance is to relieve traffic pressure through micro-renovation. It is mainly suitable for road sections and nodes that are easy to induce normal traffic congestion, such as improper traffic facilities, unreasonable traffic organization, imperfect traffic management, and chaotic traffic order.

Existing municipal road land is used. , Through Led Smart Crosswalks, traffic organization optimization and adjustment and other measures, with less investment and faster implementation speed (short, flat and fast), the potential of road traffic is tapped, traffic order is improved, and congestion is relieved. This year, the city plans to complete more than 15 Led Smart Crosswalks tasks, 11 of which have been completed. Through the post-evaluation of the effect of the completed points, the effect of congestion control is obvious.

For example, after Dongfeng Middle Road westbound-Lianxin Road intersection facilities are improved, the queue space in the right-turn lane will increase, reducing the interference to the main line of Dongfeng Middle Road, and the average delay of right-turn vehicles will generally decrease. Crosswalks, after setting up a dedicated exit for bus vehicles between the main and auxiliary vehicles, the right-turning bus vehicles can merge into the rightmost auxiliary road here in advance, which reduces the interweaving and conflict between right-turning bus vehicles and straight-going vehicles at Zhongshan Eighth Road Interchange. Zhongshan No. 8 bus traffic increased significantly.

The governance of Led Smart Crosswalks in Guangzhou is a work that needs to be carried out on a rolling basis. The effect of the governance of Led Smart Crosswalks may decrease continuously with the continuous increase of road traffic and the adjustment of the overall road network. Guangzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau will continue to research and implement long-term and rolling reconstruction of congestion points to adapt to changing traffic flow, and cooperate with various measures such as road network construction, bus priority, slow-moving improvement, parking control and other measures to jointly exert the benefits of congestion control .
