On Nizhny Novgorod Street in the Tagansky District, the traffic pattern has been updated. Motorists will be able to use shorter routes and save travel time. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transportation and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.
“According to the Traffic Management Center’s project, five new traffic movements have been opened immediately on Nizhegorodskaya Street — three left turns and two U-turns. Previously, due to a limited number of maneuvers, drivers had to take additional detours, and part of the traffic flow concentrated at several busy intersections. Now motorists will be able to choose more direct routes through the Tagansky district and travel up to 1.5 kilometers less, saving 5–10 minutes on the way. The new scheme will also help redistribute traffic flows and reduce the load on the intersections with Volovaya Street and Abelmanovskaya Zastava Square. We continue to make movement in the capital faster and more convenient, as instructed by the Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin within the framework of the Transport Development Strategy until 2030,” said Maksim Liksutov.
Nizhegorodskaya Street is one of the main transport arteries of the Tagansky District. Previously, the possibilities for turns and U-turns there were limited. For example, from Kovrov Lane, it was not possible to turn onto Nizhegorodskaya Street in the direction towards the region. Drivers had to travel to Abelmanovskaya Zastava Square to make a U-turn or choose a route via Enthusiasts Highway. There were also not enough direct turns and U-turns to the adjacent streets. Because of this, additional detours occurred, and part of the traffic flow concentrated at the intersections with Volovaya Street and Abelmanovskaya Zastava Square.
Now, three regulated left turns have been arranged on Nizhny Novgorod Street: from Kovrov Lane towards Ryazansky Avenue, from Nizhny Novgorod Lane towards Taganskaya Street, and also into Nizhny Novgorod Lane when moving towards the center. For this, according to the specialists of the TsODD project, new markings were applied, several parts of the dividing barrier were dismantled, and the traffic light was modernized.
In the direction from the center, drivers will be able to use new U-turns before Nizhny Novgorod Lane and Volovaya Street. The first allows faster access to Rogozhsky Val Street and the residential blocks between it and Kovrov Lane, the second — to Kovrov Lane and adjacent streets.
