ROLE OF NONMOTORIZED TRANSPORTATION IN THE MAJOR HIGHWAY SYSTEM IN CHINA
The National Major Highways of China (NMHC) is the name of the major highway system in China, which is the backbone of the country's highway transportation. A variety of transportation modes share the NMHC, including motor vehicles, bicycles, and manpowered and animal-drawn vehicles. In 1992 the total percentage of nonmotorized transportation modes in China was 13.2%. As such, nonmotorized transportation modes must be considered in developing future strategies for the NMHC. The characteristics of nonmotorized transportation are discussed using statistical traffic data for the NMHC between 1988 and 1992. In addition, recommendations are made for the future planning of the NMHC, with special consideration given to bicycle traffic.
