Moscow will go the European way

The website of the Government of Moscow issued a comprehensive plan for the mayor to rid the capital of the transportation problems. Many solutions have long been used successfully in other countries. For example, expensive parking on main streets or restricting entry to the city for trucks. Past few years, complaints about the road conditions became the norm, the internet has several sites devoted to this issue, but about Moscow's traffic jams even had written a book. So that the ideas listed in the list of priority measures to improve the traffic situation, is not new. But so far from Dmitry Medvedev not received an order to deal with traffic jams, to assign this responsibility to the newly created Mayor's capital, the government struggled to traffic jams in name only. As they say, until the thunder did not break out, and now passed from words to deeds. This week has been banned parking on Tverskaya street, popular among "Nashi" Petrovka filled tow, and it looks like a few central streets waiting for a similar fate. So, after numerous requests languishing in a traffic jam of motorists, roadway will be widened. True, have to sacrifice bandwidth, which in Russia than in other countries - with 3,75 m it shrink to 2.75 m. With this narrowing of the trucks will be very uncomfortable pushing the city, so the government will raise the question of restricting entry to supersize transport in Moscow - on weekdays from 7 to 22, as well as on holidays and weekends. Before entering the city will be arranged parking for heavy-duty trucks, from which cargo will be distributed to low-tonnage vehicles. Also, the city will be removed gradually warehouses, to which you want to access big trucks. Would create a new multilevel parking garages and parking. The idea of ??"submarine" car park dates back to when Luzhkov, but its implementation has not reached, but the platform on the roof there are many newly constructed buildings. About coming to the Moscow area subway stations will equip intercept parking. Several of these have now and they are in great demand. Parking in the city once again become paid, and the cost will depend on the workload of the places where they are located. Much attention in terms of Sobyanin on the development of public transport. The only deprivation that he would be - will be removed from the center of trolley buses. More history on the Garden Ring, when parked in two rows of cars in the winter crippled the movement "horny" is not repeated. But the rest of the passenger transport gets smart for Moscow privileges: on busy sections of it will allocate a separate lane for traffic, and on ordinary roads near the stops will equip zaezdnye pockets. At the same time will be considered increasing the penalty for driving on lanes for public transport. Marshrutochnikam contrary, prizhmut tail. Commercial carriers will be obliged to build additional zaezdnye pockets for parking of vehicles in the initial and final destination. The plans of the design of multi-level interchanges and highways. Some of them will be intended for transit traffic. On multilane roads zebra crossings will be removed on the underground or above ground level. Close to major highways will build roads, understudies, who will assume the main stream and attracts travelers on the highway. Some left turns to cancel, and to make some special storage pockets up to 200 m. The federal roads will be expanded to four lanes, with a width will hold up to the Moscow region, inclusive. Will be completely reconstructed Minsk, Volokolamsk, Schelkovskoe, Yaroslavl, Novoryazanskoye, Leningrad highway and highway enthusiast sites on the Ring Road to a small ring of Moscow. New roads will be built with the possibility of reversing the movement on them. One of these road sections are at the Volgograd prospectus, but it does not much improve the situation. Construction of new facilities and housing near the roads, repairing asphalt, alignment of routes and other matters that will affect traffic in the area of ??operations, will be specially created Interdepartmental Commission. It will issue permits for the construction of shopping malls and markets where it can be obtained only if the terms of its own transport infrastructure. This same committee will deal with the elimination of illegal buildings. It seems that all these sobyaninskie plans did not seem ordinary empty promises, the document says that officials will carry the administrative responsibility for directing traffic to the sites assigned to them.
