The development status of foreign highways and the development of road transport

The prospects for road transport are very good, and with the country's increased investment in infrastructure, road facilities are becoming more and more perfect. Road transport will also develop faster and faster, and the prospects are good. In addition to the reduction in oil prices.

Since 2013, China's highway construction has made great progress, alleviating the constraints of national economic development, but the development of expressways is still lagging behind the traffic demand.

1.The gap between China's highway development and foreign countries.

Although China's highway construction has made great progress since 2013, initially alleviating the constraints on the development of the national economy, but in general, China's highway development is still lagging behind the traffic demand.

First, the total number of expressways in China is obviously small. The United States and Canada are about the same size as China, but the number of highways has reached 100,000 kilometers and 10,000 kilometers respectively. France has only 17 kilometers of China's land area and 9,000 kilometers of highways.

Japan is a small country with 7,265 kilometers of highways. Even compared with some developing countries, China still has a big gap.

Second, there is no network of highways. Generally speaking, expressways have the characteristics of large traffic capacity, fast driving speed and high transportation efficiency, and can form a fast, efficient and safe transportation channel. China's existing expressway is built in phases according to the overall plan, most of the project mileage is short, scattered distribution, no long-distance transportation channel has been formed, and no expressway network has been formed, so the characteristics of the expressway should be difficult to play, and the due benefits are difficult to reflect.

Third, the development of expressways lags behind the development of the national economy. At present, traffic congestion is very serious on some trunk roads in economically developed coastal provinces and central and western regions, which hinders the circulation of commodities and the economy.

2.According to international experience, China's highway industry will maintain rapid growth in the next 20 years.

According to the experience of the development of the expressway network in the United States, the process of forming the expressway network will bring about a period of rapid growth in traffic flow, and then the growth of traffic flow will basically synchronize with the growth of GDP. Therefore, from the end of 2010, China completed 10,000 kilometers, to achieve the goal of "East Network, Zoomlion, West Link", and basically through the "7918 Network" trace code in the "five shots, two vertical and seven horizontal" 14 trunk lines, to 2020 China to complete the "7918 Network" planned all 10,000 kilometers of highway mileage during this time, China's highways will maintain a rapid growth trend.

During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, China's national economy will maintain a sustained and rapid growth trend, and GDP is expected to grow at an average annual rate. The total scale of the economy continues to expand, the industrialization process will be characterized by the rapid expansion of the scale of the manufacturing industry, the demand for energy and raw materials has increased significantly, the market vitality has been enhanced, and the logistics and logistics have been accelerated, which will inevitably make the demand for highway passenger and freight transportation during the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period maintain a sustained growth momentum.

In the long run, China will become the world's largest economy in 2050, surpassing the United States. With the continuous growth of China's total economy, the highway industry will surely share the growth of the national economy.
