What is the difference between a city road and a highway, and what is the difference between a city

The differences between urban roads and highways are as follows:

1. The standards for urban roads and highways are different: urban roads need to consider the layout of urban pipelines, urban green belts, bicycle lanes, etc.; Highways consider traffic volume and traffic intensity, so municipal roads are more complex than highways;

2. The management limits of urban roads and highways are different: urban roads are managed by the urban construction department; Highways are managed by the Department of Transportation. Urban roads are roads that connect to all areas of the city, are used for transportation and pedestrians in the city, facilitate residents' life, work and cultural and recreational activities, and connect with roads outside the city to bear the burden of external traffic.

There are street lights on urban roads, there are no highways, there are toll booths on highways, there are no urban roads, generally urban roads are wider than highways, and there are sidewalks on urban roads, highways are semi-closed, close but not entering, far away from them, the speed limit on highways is not the same as urban roads, urban roads have traffic lights, highways are not, and so on.

Urban roads: those managed by the urban construction department, generally in the city; Highways: those maintained by the transportation department are generally divided into township roads, county roads, provincial roads, and national roads.

1. Urban roads can reach all areas of the city, for transportation and pedestrians in the city, convenient for residents' life, work and cultural and recreational activities, and connect with roads outside the city to bear the burden of external traffic.

2. The literal meaning of the highway is the public road, the public traffic road, cars, bicycles, rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages and many other means of transportation and pedestrians can walk, of course, different highways have different restrictions. It is also called a road, and there is a difference between a general road and a road dedicated to automobiles, and there are more and more of the latter, so there are two specifications of secondary roads.

The prescribed standards for municipal roads and highways are not the same.

First of all, municipal roads need to consider the layout of urban pipelines, urban green belts, bicycle lanes, etc., while highways need to consider traffic volume and traffic intensity. Therefore, municipal roads are more complex than highways, and there is a difference in management authority, municipal roads are managed by the urban construction department, and highways are managed by the transportation department.

The roads within the city are called urban roads, and the roads outside the city and the roads connecting the cities are called highways.

A city road is a road built in a city. What you call a highway is a road outside the city. How can you tell the difference? Quite simply, there are high-rise buildings near city roads, and there are no high-rise buildings near highways.

In terms of function, urban roads serve the internal system of the city, so I personally believe that in a broad sense, the roads between close urban groups also belong to the category of urban roads, and highways are roads that connect cities or large urban groups.

In terms of traffic volume, the traffic composition of urban roads is relatively complex, but there is basically no heavy-duty traffic, and highways are the opposite. This is inevitably reflected in the design of pavement structures.

In terms of the feeling of the design process, the highway design is like a big splash of ink, and the urban road is like a small handwriting. The former mainly considers the fluency of the line type, soil quality problems, and bridge and culvert structure, while the latter is designed because the line type is greatly limited, and the connection with the surrounding buildings and structures has become a key point of the design, in addition, due to the large number of pipelines, this is also a design difficulty.

The service functions of the two are different, the urban road serves people and vehicles, so more humanistic care should be reflected in the detailed design, and the main service of the highway is the car, which mainly emphasizes the driving experience.
