Grammar
vehicle and pedestrian bridge?
In China, there're many bridges for both vehicles and pedestrians. The Chinese term for the bridge, if translated word by word, should be 'mixed traffic bridge for motor vehicles and non-motor-vehicles'. Is there a corresponding expression in English countries? Some suggest 'a vehicle and pedestrian bridge', but I don't think it's a really good version, because the mentioned bridges usually have special lanes for bicycles/tricycles and other types of non-motor-vehicles.

A "bridge", in English, normally means both pedestrian and vehicle in English. If you mean one or the other, you would say either, "pedestrian bridge" or "vehicle bridge" if there is a differentiation.
