For many years, appropriate techniques for establishing suitable traffic regulations under mixed-traffic conditions in Chinese cities have been explored. Generally, it is considered that the segregation of motorized and nonmotorized traffic by temporal and spatial means is a basic principle for managing and operating mixed traffic on most urban streets. Many Chinese cities, especially large cities, have used this principle in their urban traffic operations and management for a long time. A study of the implementation of this principle on the basis of the experiences of several large cities in China is presented. Traffic operation and management under mixed-traffic conditions from the standpoint of roadway planning, traffic engineering, operation, and various treatment measures to separate mixed traffic, particularly at intersections, are discussed. Detailed examples of intersection traffic operation and unique patterns of interchange are presented with regard to the traffic segregation principle. It is indicated that the mixed-traffic congestion or chaos due to massive use of nonmotorized vehicles could be resolved to a great extent by sound engineering and traffic operation solutions.
