Shanghai has renovated 89 crowded stretches, bottlenecked areas and
crossroads to ease the traffic congestion.
Thirty bus stations have been renovated into shelters or expanded so that
buses can park without disturbing nearby traffic.
The city has adjusted the width of sidewalks and roads, and added extra
vehicle lanes on 29 roads to improve the traffic condition, such as Qingyun Road
in Zhabei District.
Channelization and more vehicle lanes on 30 crossroads, including at
Zhongshan Road N. and Datong Road, will stop drivers from dangerously swerving
around stopped buses.
The project also added 55,300 square meters of new roadways, and 2,000 meters
of pedestrian barriers.
