What is rice-shaped traffic

The m-shaped traffic is the first to be implemented on Chengdu Chenghua Avenue, so what is the m-shaped traffic? What benefits will it bring?

The optimization and transformation project of the Chengdu Mi-shaped road traffic signal system is about to start, which means that the roads distributed on both sides of the east and west and north and south trunk roads of Chengdu will also begin to implement traffic signal linkage.

At present, the roads in Chengdu are mainly dominated by crosses and crosses, while the "meter" traffic is composed of several roads to form a "meter" shape. "Actually, the north and south and east and west main roads in the city are the horizontal and vertical frames of the rice, and there are many branch roads around it. Linking the branch roads and the signal lights of the cross roads to form a large rice-shaped traffic" . According to the relevant person in charge of the Chengdu Municipal Traffic Commission, the "Mi" traffic will be set up from the Second Ring Road. At present, the city's 13 fast lanes that have been opened to traffic and will be built, some of the lines will be included in the "Mi" traffic.

It is understood that the signal lights included in the "meter" section will be controlled by the same system, and the traffic lights at each intersection will change the time accordingly. At that time, a green wave belt will be formed in the center of the urban area, that is, when the green light is on, several intersections will become green at the same time, thereby maximizing the road capacity. In the peak traffic period, the green light time of the intersection with high traffic volume will be properly extended, and during the peak period, the traffic flow in all directions will be taken into account to maximize the use of road resources. The Mi-shaped road traffic signal system optimization and transformation project will be implemented first on the Chenghua Road section.
