Since the beginning of the year, 61 improvements have been implemented in the Eastern Administrative District of Moscow to ensure comfortable and safe traffic. The traffic management departments of the Traffic Management Center are working on these projects. The projects for residents of the Eastern Administrative District were reported in on my blog Sergei Sobyanin.
"New pedestrian crossings, safety islands, additional traffic lanes, 'waffle roads' at complex intersections, and other traffic management elements have appeared in the district," the Moscow Mayor noted.
Crossings and safety islands
In Novogireevo, at the intersection of Martenovskaya Street and Soyuzny Prospekt, a new pedestrian crossing has been installed at the request of residents. This makes it easier for Muscovites to get to School No. 1798 "Phoenix," the children's clinic, and to access residential buildings.
At the request of residents, another pedestrian crossing was installed in the Kosino-Ukhtomsky district near building 3 on Dmitrievsky Street. A safety island was also added. The route to the parking lot and the Ulitsa Dmitrievsky Metro bus stop has become more convenient.
In the Perovo district, near building 5 on Laz Street, a crossing island like this one helps residents with children safely cross the road to the park, the Church of the Sign of the Icon of the Mother of God, the Moscow Theater of Illusions, and the bus stop.
Everything for the convenience of residents
Speed limits have been reduced in eight areas near social facilities. For example, in Izmailovo, on Projected Driveway No. 6603 from Vernisazhnaya Street to Projected Driveway No. 6604, cars are now limited to 30 kilometers per hour. Popular landmarks nearby include the Izmailovo Kremlin and a hotel complex. These changes encourage drivers to exercise caution by reducing speed, and allow pedestrians to cross the road safely.
In Veshnyaki, a new lane was added on Yunosti Street through re-marking. The section now has three lanes: two allow straight-ahead travel, and the third allows only left turns onto Moldagulovoy Street. This increased the section's capacity by almost 1.5 times.
An additional lane is now available in Sokolniki—on Poperechny Prosek from 1st Luchevoy Prosek to Sokolnichesky Val Street. Capacity here has nearly doubled, saving drivers up to four minutes of travel time.
Waffle-patterned road markings have been added at the intersection of Poperechny Prosek and Sokolnichesky Val Street. Similar markings are now also present at the intersection of Elektrozavodsky Bridge, Bakuninskaya Street, and Gastello Street.
"The measures taken have increased road capacity and made crossings more convenient and safer for residents," the Moscow Mayor concluded.
