Characteristics of Urban Traffic Control Measures in China in the Background of COVID-19

ABSTRACT

The rapid global spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is now a reality. China has taken urban traffic control measures to prevent and control the epidemic, but this has prevented the flow of people between cities. This study investigates the mechanism of the impact of urban traffic control measures on the intercity population flow in China using the one-way causal measurement method. The results show that the impact of urban traffic control measures on the intercity flow of the population changes with time. Based on this, this study makes scientific suggestions for the government on how to reasonably undertake traffic control measures.
