The road turnover of the five regions mentioned above transferred to waterway and railway largely. The philosophy of low-carbon is deep in the human mind and the implementation environment of low-carbon is fine.GDP growth rate: 10%.
The reduction rate of road turnover: 25%

Moderate-growth scenarioThe domestic economic development is stable and the road turnover grows steadily. The authorities introduce relatively soft macro-control policies. GDP growth rate: 8%.
