A Study Of Analysis And Design Optimization Of Guide Sign System In The Beijing Area

The guide sign system is the language of road traffic, which also is a tie amonghuman, vehicles and roads. As one kind of important public service facilities, guidesign system has two functions. One is the function of information service, by providinginformation of name, direction, distance and so on. Thus, road users can smoothly reachto theirs destination under the guidance of direction signs according to the planned route;The other one is the function of traffic guidance, by auxiliary helping travelers rapidlymake accurate judgments. This plays an important role for realizing traffic organizationschemes and balancing traffic flow of road network. Reasonable guide signs can ensurethe smooth of traffic flow, improve traffic capacity, reduce the number of trafficaccidents, prevent traffic congestion and beautify the road environment. Reasonableguide sign system reflects the management level and degree of modernization of a city.As the capital of our country, Beijing is the country’s political, economic andcultural center. The contact of Beijing with overseas is strengthened, as the concept ofworld city is proposed. At the same time, citizens’ trips are increasing and the scope oftravel is gradually expand, because the urban construction is speeding up and the tenureof vehicles is sharply increasing. Under the new traffic situation, it is extremelysignificant to build a set of guide sign system combining the characteristics of Beijingcity, which is scientific, standardized and reasonable. And it directly reflects themanagement level of the capital city and the service concept of traffic managementAs the first street in China, Chang’an avenue is the symbol of political, economicand cultural, which owns social significance. From the perspective of the level oftransportation, Chang’an Avenue (and its extension) has roads with lights, intersectionwithout signal, signal intersection, loop interchange, etc. In addition, scenic spots, otherlarge public facilities and others is intensely distributed along Chang’an avenue, whichmakes the distributing traffic and transit transportation of Chang’an avenue representthe typical and representative of direction sign system.Based on the detailed analysis of the current guide sign system of Beijing, thisarticle discusses the overall framework of road guide sign system in Beijing. Then, thisstudy provides a research of the layout scheme, layout form, information selection andothers about design ideas and technical route of road guide signs. Meanwhile, this papermakes the reconstruction project of Chang’an avenue as an example on the basis ofcombining the study conclusion of social questionnaire investigation and the researchconclusion of guide signs of large foreign city.
