In order to improve the capacity of urban roads and alleviate the intersections’ congestion, this paper analyses the characteristics of mixed traffic flow in China, considers non- motor vehicles’ impact to the intersections, uses definite number of conversion to convert non-motor vehicles to motor vehicles, and then recomposes the F-B signal timing formula based on the traditional F-B signal timing method. By an example and Vissim simulation, a reasonable conversion factor is computed, The recomposed F-B signal time formula can reduce the delay and improve the efficience of the intersections, providing a new idea to signal timing under the mixed traffic flow.
