During the 29th Olympic Games, the Organizing Committee proposed and applied a series of traffic control measures. This paper first introduces the traffic control measures, and then analyzes their effects on road traffic structure and volume. It turned out that the ratio of non-motorized vehicle and bus are directly proportional to the intensity of traffic control, while the traffic volume and V/C ratio are inversely proportional to it. The survey data indicate that, with the launch of the traffic control measures, the ratio of passenger car on expressway declined 15.68% while bus inclined 2.85% in AM peak. The vehicle volume of expressway, arterial road, secondary road and branch road declined 18.84%, 22.13%, 38.5%, and 24.63%, respectively by lane, while the V/C ratio decreased by 59.09%, 20.00%, 68.75%, and 6.25%, respectively in AM peak.
