Abstract:

In Shanghai central city, bicycle is still acted as the most important commuting vehicle notwithstanding cycling trips had decreased to 25.2% in 2004 from 41.7% in 1995. Due to the lack of alternative running-through corridors for cyclists, most of them have commuted along main roads for years where conflicts between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles are seriously intensified as a consequence of insufficient road supply. And these cyclists are terribly exposed to traffic pollution with the rapid development of motorization. Therefore it is necessary to provide more convenient, safer, and continuous bicycle corridor systems for cyclists. This paper present the notions of Pedestrian&Cyclist (P&C) Island and P&C Nucleus to remove the division by arterial roads and locate corridors for main flow of cycling trips. Based on the principles of "Connecting P&C Island", "Passing P&C Nucleus", "Cutting and Straightening", and "Prioritizing then Attracting", the bicycle corridor network planned for Shanghai central city and the tidal management policies designed for different corridors are proposed in paper, which provide appropriate bicycle corridors mainly on branches and release the conflicts between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles on main roads, and achieve the promising harmony coexistence for cyclists and motor drivers.
