This was announced on Thursday, October 19, by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Transport and Development of Road Transport Infrastructure of the city Maxim Liksutov.
“A large team of specialists carefully works on each improvement of traffic in the city: first, transport schemes are created by road curators of the data center, analysts carry out the necessary calculations, and then the innovations are implemented by road services,” he said.
The deputy mayor said that traffic lights, traffic islands and speed bumps have been added in areas where accidents occur frequently. In addition, traffic patterns in the capital have been adjusted.
