This concept of urbanization was early put forward by Spanish engineer A. Serda in Basic Theory for Urbanization in 1867, and now is widely applied in the world. The urbanization process which characterized as the population gathering to the town and the city continuously is the necessary historical stage for every country during its industrialization. At present, the urbanization level of the world is more than 50 percent and a half of population live in the city resulting in its rapid development. Meanwhile, the excessive consumption of energy, the increasing supply pressure for traffic, water, electric, gas and the quantity of heat plus the excessive population in the city can result in "urban illness". The traffic in the city can be in trouble to restrict the better development of the city with the population centered in the city. The researching task group of the State Council Development Researching Center indicates that the pattern of the traffic is one of the substantial core problems. The future shall rely on the advanced traffic technology to new urbanization pattern with the characteristics of better function, centered development, ecological friendship and harmonious live. About one third of the traffics combined cities and towns in 655 cities are congested during the rush hour under the rapid development of the urbanization according to the sixth Chinese Living Environment Forum. The traffic condition of large cities in developed countries analyzed by Britain SYSTRA Company indicates that the traffic congestion, traffic accident, noise pollution and automobile gas pollution make the cost in paid economy respectively take 2%, 1.5 to 2 %, 0.3 %, and 0.4% of GDP. The influence of the city economy caused by the health cost and the loss of the productive forces resulted from the above factors take 1% to 5% in GDP. And the GDP is the important index for urbanization, so the traffic problems are representative and significant in the process of urbanization. Guizhou province is located in the southwest of plateau and though its capital Guiyang city isn't a largely developed economic center, with the population congregating in the city and increasing of motor vehicles, as the infrastructure in relative poor with the lack of good management means and manners, the terrible traffic congestion here brings much negative influence to Guiyang city, which restrict the urbanization process of the city. 1.
