It severely affects the city’s normal function and its sustainable development. This paper first leads to important impact of traffic on urbanization development from the concept of urbanization, it then states the current traffic congestion status in the process of urbanization in Guiyang after introducing the research of domestic and overseas traffic status, finally, it puts forward some suggestions of countermeasures of traffic management in Guiyang. These aim to improve the traffic congestion problem in the city, and make Guiyang’s urbanization development to be more perfect.
