This year, 105 road re-marking projects were implemented under the auspices of the Traffic Management Center (TMC). This allowed for quick and effective improvement of traffic flow without changing the road dimensions. Congestion on highways is reduced, shorter routes are created, and the safety of all road users is improved.
"Re-marking allows for faster and more comfortable travel without increasing road width, even on busy highways. Since the beginning of this year, additional lanes have been installed on 105 sections, along with new directions and U-turns. At Sergei Sobyanin's direction, we continue to improve traffic in the city," said Moscow's Deputy Mayor for Transport and Industry.
This year, the Moscow Traffic Management Center (TsODD) planned to implement 100 re-marking projects. However, the target was exceeded. TsODD specialists developed 120 projects, 105 of which have already been implemented. Work was carried out, including on key busy thoroughfares: the Garden Ring, the Third Ring Road (TTR), the Moscow Ring Road (MKAD), and others.
Thus, additional lanes have been added in each direction on sections of the Third Transport Ring from 1st Setunsky Proyezd to the Luzhnetskaya Overpass and from Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street to Volgogradsky Prospekt. An additional lane has been installed at the exit from the Third Transport Ring onto Bolshaya Tulskaya Street near Varshavskoye Shosse. Another lane has also been added at the exit from the M-9 "Baltia" Highway onto the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road. Now, more than 1,500 drivers will be able to travel this section twice as fast in the morning.
Six new U-turns were created on the Garden Ring thanks to re-marking. Two of them were added before Akademika Sakharova Prospekt, one before Staraya Basmannaya Street, one on Zubovsky Boulevard, and two more near Paveletskaya Square. As a result, excess travel time has been reduced by an average of two kilometers, and travel time has been reduced by eight to 15 minutes.
Traffic improvement projects will continue to be developed next year. One key tool is re-marking. It helps create additional lanes by reducing the width of existing lanes, thereby reducing localized congestion. This increases the capacity of congested areas and increases average traffic speeds. This method is also used to create new lanes at intersections and additional U-turns. These new alternative routes help drivers shorten their journeys and reach their destinations faster.
