Wang Songbo said that "Planning" pointed out that by 2035, the provincial capital of the East Central Region will return to and from the city, and the city to the county half -day round -trip, and the provincial capital of the western region will arrive on the day of the city and the city. Homing commute needs.

The "multi -center radiation" of urban agglomerations will be formed, and the “multi -channel connection” of the inter -regional, provincial, and group inter -communities, and an important channel “multi -line complementary” multi -central network road network pattern. It will realize that the national highway connects all border port counties and cities and ordinary national highway connecting all along road ports across the country. The national highway network is fully covered in the road section of the Asian Highway Network. The level of inter -provincial interconnection and interoperability has been significantly improved, which will strongly support the construction of a new development pattern.

The National Highway Network comprehensively covers 5A -level scenic spots, national -level scenic spots, World Culture and Natural Heritage (protected areas), and strengthens the supporting role of highway traffic on the development of the tourism industry; connects all important transportation hubs across the country, including 74 Important ports, 106 railway hubs, and 453 civil aviation transport airports, which effectively support the construction of "global 123 fast cargo flow circles".

He emphasized that the development differences and stages of development of the Eastern, Central and Western regions are considered overall. The "Planning" takes into account efficiency and fairness, and accurate efforts according to demand and the positioning of the national highway network. For the eastern and central regions, which are relatively high in economic and social development and the national highway network is relatively complete, when adjusting and optimizing, we focus on strengthening the ability of the backbone channels and improving the operation efficiency of the road network, making "gongbi painting" more beautiful. For the western regions where the local people are rare, the economic and social development is relatively lagging, and the traffic is still in the western region, it pays more attention to the expansion of national highway coverage and connectivity.

For example, the Baiyu to Popo ordinary national highway has been added, and a new Tibetan passage has been opened between the National Highway G317 and G318. Both have important functions. In the Western Luhai New Channel, the national highway routes such as Pingshan to Xingyi and Guiyang to Beihai were added, which further expanded new space for the western region to participate in international economic cooperation.

Wang Songbo also said that the "Planning" focuses on major strategies such as Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei coordinated development, the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, the construction of the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area, the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta, the ecological protection and high -quality development of the Yellow River Basin. The three major sources of power leading the three major development of the country in the three major sources of the country in Beijing -Tianjin -Hebei, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and the Yangtze River Delta have focused on improving the urban agglomeration highway network. The perspective of comprehensive transportation corridors and the development of the tourism industry along the line have been supplemented.
