Active work on developing service infrastructure for road users continues in Russia. In particular, a network of modern multifunctional zones (MFZ) for road service is being created on the country's backbone network of high-speed highways. Thus, MFZs have opened at the 213th km and 720th km of the M-4 "Don" within the boundaries of the Tula and Voronezh regions. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
"We are consistently updating the road framework of our country, creating conditions for comfortable and safe travel. An important part of this work is the creation of special places for full rest of drivers and passengers during long and short distance trips. We are talking about MFPs, which are becoming not only stopping points, but also centers of attraction, as well as one of the factors in the dynamic development of the regional economy. This is due to the fact that MFPs stimulate the growth of entrepreneurial and business activity, the creation of new jobs. Thus, on the M-4 "Don" at the 213th km in the Tula region and at the 720th km in the Voronezh region, large multifunctional factories have been built. On their territories, service buildings with sales areas of about 1 thousand square meters have been built, terraces, gazebos, play areas for children have been equipped, and areas for walking pets have been organized. At the same time, infrastructure for passengers of intercity buses has been equipped. Thanks to the new roadside service facilities, trips along the main road to the south will become even more convenient," said Marat Khusnullin.
There are petrol stations with separated traffic flows. Separate fuel dispensers for cars and trucks are equipped here. In addition, comfortable parking lots for cars and trucks are organized.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, the flagship MFPs on the M-4 Don highway fully comply with the principles of customer centricity, since they are equipped with everything necessary for drivers and passengers.
"The M-4 Don highway is one of the most popular roads in the country, especially in the summer, when many people head south. At this time, the flow of cars increases several times. And in order to provide comfortable conditions for our users, we continue to develop the MFS network, since roadside service directly affects traffic safety. A good rest on the road reduces the risk of an accident, especially in heavy traffic conditions. This task is solved by MFS, since they provide such an opportunity to drivers, acting as an important element in ensuring safe road traffic. In addition, MFS is not only an integral part of modern roadside service, but also a critical element of the comprehensive infrastructure development of the country," said Vyacheslav Petushenko.
