Abstract

At present, China's urban transportation is in a period of development and transformation, and there are heated discussions about transportation sustainability. With China's new urban planning strategy and the future development trend of roads, the construction and development of the slow-traffic system have become a new direction of exploration. Through the analysis of human psychology and physiology, this article further explores the sustainable development of slow-traffic systems without sacrificing human welfare. Through the impact on the psychological safety of users based on distance in the street space, and through the three physiological stimulations of color and light on vision, noise on hearing, and ground materials on touch, it strengthens the sense of security for users in road space. Controllability and increased frequency of use. Integrate slow traffic into existing urban arterial roads and public transportation in more possible ways, reactivating street vitality and enriching street life. While achieving the "double carbon" goal, urban roads should be constructed meticulously to improve the quality of life of residents. Nowadays, there are many studies on the use of new technologies for road management, but few on road planning methods that focus on people themselves. After research and discussion, this article can fill the gaps in related research and contribute to the sustainable development of the slow-traffic system.
