Plans to streamline road infrastructure in Tashkent city considered

The project set three main goals – ensuring the safety and convenience of pedestrians, prioritizing public transport, increasing capacity, and reducing the number of road accidents.

This project was implemented in test mode at two major intersections of Tashkent – at the junction of Bobur and Furkat streets and the intersection of Bogishamol Street and the Tashkent Ring Road.

“Safety islands” for pedestrians were created at intersections, and traffic light control devices were installed at pedestrian crossings. Public transport stops have been redesigned to make it easier for passengers to pick up and drop off.

A system of smart traffic lights was also installed at intersections, the duration of which adapts to the intensity of traffic flow.

As a result of such projects, the capacity of intersections will significantly increase, congestion will decrease, and public transport will become more efficient.

The President instructed expanding these works and fully implementing the “city for pedestrians” principle.
