Four new dedicated lanes will come into effect in three districts of Moscow starting October 24. Thanks to them, buses and electric buses will move faster and will be less dependent on car traffic. This was stated by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.
“By the order of Sergey Sobyanin, we continue to develop the infrastructure for priority movement of surface transport. From October 24, thanks to the joint work of the Transport Organizer and the Traffic Management Center, four new dedicated lanes with a total length of 1.75 kilometers will be put into operation in the capital. The travel time of buses and electric buses on these route sections will be reduced by two to four times. At the same time, we are developing new sections mainly by repositioning lane markings without significant changes in traffic conditions for other vehicles. The total length of dedicated lanes in Moscow already exceeds 520 kilometers. We continue to develop this network so that passenger trips become even faster, more reliable, and more comfortable,” noted Maxim Liksutov.
Thus, by re-marking the road surface, a dedicated lane will appear on Projected Drive No. 7083. It is needed for the convenient U-turn of buses. On the section of the Rublyovskoye Highway parallel road, a dedicated lane is also provided on one of the three traffic lanes. City transport, including those operating on the ‘Moscow Region’ project routes, will be able to pass this segment faster. The dedicated lane will end 150 meters before the intersection to maintain the overall throughput capacity of the road.
The existing dedicated lane on Altufyevskoye Highway will be extended by 800 meters to the exit onto the Botanic Street service road through re-marking. At the same time, the number of lanes for other types of transport will remain the same.
An additional dedicated lane will be introduced on Zapovednaya Street after the existing road markings are changed. The traffic conditions for other vehicles will remain the same.
Dedicated lanes are a reliable tool for creating a comfortable environment for surface urban transport. They reduce travel time for buses and electric buses on average by two to four times, and also decrease the risk of road traffic accidents by approximately 25 percent. Trips become safer, and priority is given to urban transport, thereby reducing waiting times at stops. In addition, dedicated lanes allow for efficient distribution of the rolling stock among routes.
In accordance with the goals of the national project “Infrastructure for Life” In Moscow, great attention is paid to the modernization of social and communal infrastructure, including increasing the number of convenient city transport routes and updating the rolling stock. In addition, as part of the national project, Moscow has begun the development of the Central Transport Hub. It will become a single circuit with predictable suburban railway transport for more than 30 million residents of 11 regions of Russia.
