This paper puts forward the concept of the visual environment of urban roads. The concept holds that the visual environment is composed of three parts: the landscape of urban roads, the off-road landscape and the landscape of human activities. The major characteristics of the visual environment are the systematization of space, the duality of scope, and the involvement of human activities which is the most attractive element. The evaluation criteria include coordination, unity and diversity, recognizability, individuality, and so on. The paper also discusses the methods for creating excellent visual environment of urban roads and introduces the methods for managing the visual resources including the off-road or roadside landscape.
