Research on the scale and density of China's highway network

The scale and density of highway network is an intuitive indicator to understand and analyze the development level of regional highway. In this paper, we use the density index to compare and analyze the difference in the development level of highway networks between China and the world's major transportation power countries, and we also analyze the development law of highway network scale. On this basis, combined with the future economic and social development trends, we put forward some strategies for the development of China's highway network, which can provide reference for the formulation of highway network planning and related policies.
