In Shanghai central city, numerous bicycles are currently used as the most important commuting vehicles. Due to the lack of alternative running-through corridors, many cyclists have commuted along main roads for many years where conflicts between motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles are seriously intensified as a consequence of insufficient road availability and these cyclists are also terribly exposed to traffic pollution with the rapid development of motorization. Therefore, it is necessary to provide more convenient, safer, and continuous bicycle corridor systems for cyclists. This paper proposes the notions of Pedestrian & Cyclist (P&C) Island and P&C Nucleus to remove the division by arterial roads and locate corridors for a main flow of cycling trips. Based on the principles of "Connecting P&C Island", "Passing P&C Nucleus", "Cutting and Straightening", and "Prioritizing then Attracting", the bicycle corridor network planned for Shanghai central city and the tidal management policies designed for different corridors are raised this paper.
