Road traffic has changed as an essential source of influential urban air pollution in China. This study developed the Spatial Durbin Model to analyze the spatial spillover effects on air pollution caused by urban transportation infrastructure. The results show that high-emission areas congregate in the eastern region of China, which reflects noticeable spatial spillover effects and agglomeration characteristics as high-emission "clubs." When the traffic construction 1 1 Traffic construction area refer to the acreage of street area within the city in this paper. area increases by 1%, the air pollution level will increase 3.2% as accompanied. The improvement of the transportation infrastructure will bring out economic development. The speed of air pollution generated by the resources consumed by economic development is higher than that of technological improvement in the economic transition period to reduce air pollution. In contrast, economic growth and air pollution exacerbation represent a U-shaped curve connection. Most provinces remain in a stage where air pollution worsened with economic growth.
