Abstract
Under a relatively realistic model, this paper theoretically analyzes the road traffic status inside an urban working field, including its radial roads and circular ones. Concretely, the radial and the circular average traveling distances of a car commuter in a tiny ring with wide dx are first derived, and then the necessary road area, road area rate distributions, the proportion between the radial and the circular roads to be needed are also calculated. The results presented here and the properties shown through the numerical analysis are considered to be significant at the very beginning stage of designing an urban city.
