Narrow road design concept-based reduced lane and setting method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a reduced lane based on a narrow road design concept and a setting method thereof, belonging to the field of urban road modification design.
Background
The current lane types in China are all in the form of traditional road sections, bidirectional four lanes, bidirectional six lanes and the like, because the gravity center of road engineering is put on the expansion rather than the reduction of road systems and capacity in the 50 th to 60 th of the 20 th century. Whenever and wherever traffic volume on a certain section of a two-way two-lane road grows too fast, it is common practice in road design to add roads to a two-way four-lane road in order to adapt the road traffic capacity to it. No engineering precedent has prioritized the design of a three lane road as an alternative at that time.
Therefore, the two-way four-lane road has become the national standard from the beginning. Some roads construct cross sections of two-way four-lane to adapt to higher traffic volume, but more roads do not have so much traffic volume that constructing two-way four-lane wastes road resources.
Moreover, taking a bidirectional four-lane as an example, a conventional secondary road or branch of the bidirectional four-lane usually adopts an organic-non-mixed traffic organization mode, and various types of accidents occurring on the road are increasing, including: rear-end and side-impact accidents caused by vehicles with different speeds; side collision accidents caused by frequent and sudden lane changes of the vehicle between two lanes; rear-end collision accidents caused by left-turn vehicles stopping on the inner traffic lane; a left-turn vehicle driver driving on a straight left lane cannot correctly judge whether a front vehicle turns left or not and can not correctly judge left-turn collision caused by psychological pressure generated in a safety workshop between the front vehicle and the front vehicle; non-motor vehicle accidents due to lack of efficient space to create comfortable riding for non-motor vehicles; pedestrian accidents caused by the lack of protective arrangements on roads to protect pedestrians from crossing streets safely.
With the increase of traffic capacity and turning vehicles of urban roads and intersections, more and more traditional bidirectional four-lane roads have various traffic accidents. In addition, with the increase of dynamic traffic, community residents desire more habitable space, more sidewalk and non-motorway facilities, and more traffic options to meet travel. One solution is a lane reduction design based on the concept of narrow roads.

The technical scheme of the invention is as follows: a reduced lane based on a narrow road design concept comprises three lanes, including a central bidirectional left-turn lane, opposite straight lanes and same-direction straight lanes, wherein the opposite straight lanes and the same-direction straight lanes are arranged on two sides of the central bidirectional left-turn lane; the clearance area is arranged on the central bidirectional left-turn lane, and the clearance area is a section of road which is arranged on the central bidirectional left-turn lane and does not allow any vehicle to enter and is used for preventing the left-turn or turning vehicle in one direction from colliding with the left-turn or turning vehicle entering the central bidirectional left-turn lane when the left-turn or turning vehicle enters the central bidirectional left-turn lane from a straight lane.
The central bidirectional left-turn lane is a lane which is arranged in the middle of a road and is specially used for left-turn or turning vehicles, is a central dividing strip, is a special lane defined by virtual and real double yellow lines in the center of the road surface, and is painted with bidirectional left-turn guide arrows to specially provide for left-turn and turning of traffic flow.

The invention also provides a method for setting the reduced lane based on the narrow road design concept, which comprises the following steps:
1) surveying the traffic volume of a road, before designing a narrow road lane reduction, determining that the traffic volume of the road meets requirements including daily average traffic volume, peak hour traffic volume and left-turn traffic volume of the road, and designing the lane reduction by meeting the following three conditions:
A. the average daily traffic volume of the road is 20000 vehicles or less;
B. in the peak hour of the road, the unidirectional traffic volume per hour is 750 or less;
C. the proportion of left-turning vehicles on the road section is more than or equal to 10 percent and less than or equal to 40 percent;
2) compressing a bidirectional four lane into a curtailed lane as claimed in any one of claims 1-5.
The invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the conflict points are reduced, under the common condition, the general method adopted when the traffic volume is increased is to widen the road and increase the number of lanes to improve the traffic capacity, but the conflict points of the road are increased, the road is not safe enough, and traffic accidents are easy to happen.
2. Another feature of lane-narrowing design roads based on the concept of narrow roads is that driving on traffic flow is smooth, orderly and relatively quiet, and the center two-way left-turn three-lane does not allow speeding vehicles to change lanes in an excessive speed, which reduces variability of road driving speed and can reduce possible conflicts.
3. The emergency vehicles are generally difficult to drive on four-lane urban roads, the emergency vehicles can pass by when all the vehicles move to the roadside, and the timely processing of the emergency is influenced.
4. The cost for transforming the existing integral four-lane road into the three lanes with the center turning left in the two directions is relatively low, because the integral four-lane road is transformed into the three lanes without damaging the cross section of the road greatly to increase the land occupation, the existing lanes are only re-planned and the lane functions are re-defined and assigned, then the traffic sign lines of the road are re-calibrated, and appropriate traffic control and restriction are assisted.
5. The traffic capacity of the non-motor vehicles and the pedestrians can be improved on the premise that the traffic capacity of the motor vehicles is not reduced and delay is not increased, so that not only are road resources saved, but also the overall use efficiency of the road space is greatly increased.
6. The lane reducing device is reconstructed on the basis of the bidirectional four lanes, and can be used for arranging a roadside parking belt and a sidewalk outside the roadside parking belt on a non-motor lane outside a straight lane, and the road utilization rate is increased under the condition that the road does not need to be widened.

2) Obtaining a lane reduction design scheme based on a narrow road concept when the road has 750 unidirectional traffic volumes per hour and below in peak hours through Vissim simulation; in peak hours, when the unidirectional traffic volume per hour is between 750 and 875 vehicles, careful consideration is needed; in peak hours, implementing four-to-three slim lanes at more than 875 unidirectional traffic per hour reduces the level of service for the vehicle, so no consideration is advised.
3) Obtaining a lane reduction design scheme based on a narrow road idea when the proportion of left-turning vehicles on a road section is more than 15% -35% through Vissim simulation; when the proportion of left-turn vehicles on the road section is less than 10% or the proportion of left-turn vehicles is more than 40%, the queuing length of straight vehicles or left-turn vehicles on the road is too long, the self condition of the road cannot be met, the driving delay is increased more, the service level of the road section is reduced, and a lane reduction design scheme based on the narrow road concept is not suitable to be carried out.
(2) Ensuring that the road section length meets the requirement of a narrow road lane reduction design scheme, wherein the shortest actual road section length L of the road reduction design specified in the design is not less than the designed road section length LIs provided withThe shortest path length of the road reduction design is determined as follows:

(4) As shown in fig. 3 and 4, compared with the conventional bidirectional four-lane road section, the road section provided with the central bidirectional left-turn lane has the advantages that the number of conflict points is reduced from 6 to 2, and the number of conflict points at the intersection is reduced from 8 to 4.
(5) As shown in fig. 5, in the conventional bidirectional four-lane road, a driver needs to observe traffic conditions of two opposite lanes at the intersection, the traffic conditions of the outer lanes may not be observed due to the obstruction of vehicles of the inner opposite lanes, and in the conventional bidirectional four-lane road, the driver only needs to observe the traffic conditions of one opposite lane at the intersection to increase the field of vision of the driver.
