Moscow traffic jams have dedicated the book

Released a book in which written recipes deliverance of Moscow from the tubes. The book's authors believe that to cope with the congestion can be one, but not with the interchanges, and on driver behavior behind the wheel. The book "Moscow: metropolitan transportation problems," which was written based on detailed studies of the Russian capital from the inside. The authors of the book - Kiichiro Hatoyama, the son of former Prime Minister Yukio Hatayamy, and Basil Kichedzhi, head of the Moscow Department of Transportation. At the presentation of the book were invited to Yuri Luzhkov, the father of one of the authors, Yukio Hatoyama, as well as leaders of the Moscow department and police department. Also among the guests was the rector of Moscow State University Viktor Sadovnichy, under whose leadership Kiichiro Hatoyama is the second year running a visiting professor of logistics. Incidentally, the mayor of Moscow - a longtime friend Yukio Hatoyama, once they worked together in the Council of Sages. Apparently, familiarity with a relative of one of the authors contributed to the fate of the book: at the request of Victor Sadovnichy Luzhkov issued a helicopter and the necessary permission for flights over Moscow. Kiichiro Hatoyama with Sadovnichy flew over the city, studying the transport situation at the top. Yuri Luzhkov, have read the book before its official presentation. He noted that materials on the traffic in Moscow "inside" is not so much. Metropolitan chapter even used in some boards from the book. Mayor of Moscow, in jest or not, has promised that if using the new book plugs in the city have disappeared, he put a monument to its author. In the book "Moscow: metropolitan transportation problems, you can see how long Moscow drivers spend in traffic jams (about 87.5 hours per year), what time of year, more congestion, and how they do arise. One of the causes of congestion - closures due to passage of protected persons. The book's authors complain that drivers do not warn of the variants of a detour route motorcade. The book advised as little as possible to block traffic. The book was published with a circulation of 50,000 copies, it will translate into English and Japanese. The basic idea of ??a new book - to inform drivers of the culture of "smart driving. The book's authors believe that the main problem is not the absence of normal junctions and lack of roads, and in the minds of drivers. Kiichiro Hatoyama said that the need to promote civility and literacy on the road to encourage motorists not to drive, do not climb up and catch up. While up to Russian drivers will not get this simple idea, no multilevel interchanges and traffic signals will not improve the situation. The popularity of the book is questionable. How to eliminate traffic jams can tell almost any driver who daily rides in the car in the city. Most likely, the recipes described in the book is a collection of ideas that has repeatedly been sounded desperate drivers in traffic jams: build new interchanges, to organize a spacious parking lot, regulate the entry / exit with multilane routes as it may sound trite, but most likely the case in the mentality : many drivers want to rush quickly, despite the fact that they are creating an emergency situation and make the others wait. The book can be read only to get acquainted with an interesting theory, but expected her coup - is useless. While on the road usually prevails, "every man for himself" and motorists will drive under the slogan "after us the deluge", about any "clever driving" and can be no question. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
