ABSTRACT
The slow traffic system in modern city emphasizes the coexistence between the motor vehicle and
Gradually, because of great bicycle traffic network and high proportion of trips done by bike, Holland becomes one of the countries which has the most perfect slow traffic system. Such success can’t be achieved without the appropriate policies from government and systemic planning from the planner. Such as the overall slow system planning of Delft in 1987, the planers put forward the bikeway hierarchy plan and classified the bikeways into city level, district level, and community level, and they successfully enhanced the quality of the local slow traffic system. But in China, since the reform and opening-up policy in 1970s, considerable problems of city traffic and pollution have erupted because of the blind pursuit to rapid urbanization and motorized transportation. However, in 21st century, citizens have eventually realized the importance of slow traffic. Studies on theories and methods of slow traffic gradually develop at a preliminary stage.
