关于公路中慢车道的探讨

Study on slow lane in highway

公路标准、规范中有在一二级公路上设置慢车道的相关规定,而慢车道又与慢行车辆和非汽车交通密切相关,在规范条文及释义中没有对慢行车辆和非汽车交通进行解释,给设计人员和管理部门如何设计、管理慢车道带来困惑。通过对交通类型详细分析,并对规范条文和释义反复研读,总结出汽车与非汽车、机动车与非机动车,以及慢行车辆等交通类型的关系,指出了慢车道与非机动车道的不同之处。认识到慢车道既不是机动车道,又不是非机动车道,而是允许慢行车辆(低速机动车)、非机动车和行人共同使用的混行车道。对公路设计、管理人员如何设计和管理慢车道有一定帮助。

There are provisions in highway standards and specifications for setting up slow lanes on the first-class and second-class highways, the slow lane is closely related to slow-moving vehicles and non-automobile traffic. There is no explanation of slow-moving vehicles and non-automobile traffic in the standard provisions and interpretation, which brings confusion to designers and management departments on how to design and manage slow lanes. The traffic types are analyzed in detail, and the relationships between automobile and non-automobile, motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles and slow-moving vehicles are determined. The difference between the slow lane and the non-motorized lane is pointed out. Recognize that the slow lane is neither a motorized lane nor a non-motorized lane, but a mixed lane that allows the use of slow-moving vehicles(low speed vehicles), non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians. It is helpful for highway designers and managers to design and manage slow lanes.
