Traffic lights on the Internet

Motorists are trying to independently reduce traffic jams in Moscow. For this purpose was established non-governmental organization to combat traffic congestion. On Friday launched a website, where you can find out where currently there are traffic jams, their causes, as well as leave proposal, for example, installing new lights. Government has long and unsuccessfully fighting the traffic jams in Moscow. Such as roads and new build, and expand the street to the detriment of sidewalks and bicycle track. Installed placards before entering the third ring, and downloaded tracks, which are reported on the road. But the effect of this is still not enough - the streets are also worth a detour. Largely to blame and point construction in the capital. When near the road there is a new residential building, the tenants puts their cars wherever they can perch oneself. Underground parking spaces are almost a third of the price for an apartment in the new house, so car owners in the old park in the yards. But the roads and streets will no longer be - in Moscow under the most optimistic estimates do not have 450 km of roads. Machine and spend the night outside the houses, occupying the right lane on the streets where traffic jams are going in the morning. Procs also arise because of the rudeness and impunity on the roads. Congresses of the third ring occupy three rows of five loaded Crossroads covers travel perpendicular to the street, rushing down the sidewalk machine, turn to the left of the two series, cross-cutting fares for residential areas - all this makes it difficult to move. Motorists are constantly offering their ideas to combat traffic jams. Several years ago, was created a website where people could change jobs. Author site offers people to look for similar positions closer to home so as not to drag into the office at the other end of town. This project has lived long. Increasingly favor a two-wheeled art lovers, offering residents of big cities to change to bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. But the numerous appeals to "a sect of two-wheeled fraternity" have not improved the capacity of urban streets. The problem of congestion is solved only for the person who changes his or her vehicle to a more compact, and not for the city as a whole. Some enthusiasts even organized a movement of passengers. The idea is simple: to turn all the traffic on city roads in the community. People find those with whom they on the road and sit down to them in the car, leaving her at home. So, instead of four cars with one driver inside, on the road will be one car with a driver and three passengers. Every motorist knows all the trouble spots on your route. By experience he knows in what land in any number of better ride, and some streets and generally should be avoided during peak hours. Now we complain about unreasonable traffic congestion can be not only a neighbor to the garage for a bottle of beer. Their wishes for real improvement in road capacity can be left at the site of the NGO "Moscow center of the fight with corks. This project was supported by the capital's mayor and the Moscow Center of traffic. Such goodwill on the part of the city administration is not surprising: the project requires a minimal financial cost. Where to put a new sign, somewhere prohibit rotation, and somewhere on the contrary permit, somewhere to lay a 100-meter stretch of road ... Proposals to address local traffic problems can be placed directly on the site, noting the desired location on the map and leave a comment . Moscow Center for combating traffic jams already boasts several victories in the Southern district of the capital. For example, the Warsaw highway was banned left at Nagatinsky street. Motorists need to drive a few hundred meters before the turn to get there, but the motion of the center will not be hindered by two rows of standing on the corner. Having obtained the approval of government officials, community organizations and will continue to engage in "cosmetic" editing road signs, road markings and traffic lights. The work will affect parking, exits from the residential areas, entrances to shopping malls and other shtetl congestion. Will expand the series in the field turn left and right, it was easier to overtake the cars waiting for the green arrow. Planned to control unauthorized parking, installation of speed bumps. In general, all the work that previously was carried out only by repeated requests from citizens, knocked at doors prefectures and management areas. Some experts fear that the local amendment could hurt the city's entire road system as a whole. As the saying goes, if somewhere something has disappeared, it means that somewhere something had appeared. Until the change actually reduced traffic congestion, and to pledge the project manager Alexander Shumsky, the efforts of the Moscow center to combat traffic jams "the capacity of capital could rise by 40%. What kind of future awaits this site - is unknown. Subside if interest in him as to previous or ongoing existing similar projects, or vice versa, he will become the national mouthpiece. But one thing is clear: we must strike while the iron is hot. Text: Olga Zabelkina.
