Abstract (en)

Disclosed is a municipal crossroads structure, wherein a first artery (1) and a second artery (2) form a central platform (3) at an intersection, the first artery (1) is provided with a low tunnel (4) passing underneath the central platform (3), a cross turning tunnel (5) is diverged from the low tunnel (4), and a height of the two types of tunnels enabling vehicles to pass therethrough is no less than 2 meters and no more than 3 meters. The first artery (1) is separated by the low tunnels (4) into two ground surface lanes (7, 8) which are intended for travel in opposite directions and can be used by large vehicles, the two ground surface lanes (7, 8) are connected on the central platform (3) to form U-turn lanes (9, 10), and the U-turn lanes (9, 10) are located on left and right sides of a straight-on lane of the second artery (2) on the central platform (3). The municipal crossroads structure uses the low tunnels (4), the cross turning tunnels (5) and the central platform (3) to enable split-flow for small and large vehicles and vehicles travelling in different directions, such that a large number of small vehicles can travel without being caught in a traffic jam, and traffic is smooth across the whole crossroads.
