【 摘 要 】

Opinions on Further Strengthening the urban planning and construction management, which states that in principle, construction of residential areas are no longer closed. And residential areas have been built should be gradually opened to public, in order to resolve road network layout problems and promote economical use of land. On the one hand the opening residential areas maybe relieve the traffic press, on the other hand a large number of though traffic into the residential areas will reduce the quality of life for residents of concerns about safety, noise and pollution. How to ease the contradiction between the two is a serious problem. Traffic calming which can alleviate the adverse effects of motor vehicle use, should be used in opening residential areas to reduce occurrence of excessive speeding and through traffic. Many countries have sophisticated and organized methods to carry out the measures, and have achieved some results. While our country does not have well defined and systematic study process to facilitate traffic calming measures, and the "people first" concept of traffic calming is not popular. After illustrating the advantages of traffic calming device in other countries, the objective of this research is to investigate and analyse the effects of some measures which used in opening residential areas, the aim is to establish traffic calming device selection process guiding principles to be introduced in China.
