In Kiev will earn the new scheme of movement of cars and trams

The changes will affect the hem and the metro.

In Kiev has developed new traffic patterns at the hem and near the metro, which is now constantly stuck in traffic jams. For contract changes will begin next year. So, voloska St. want to turn backwards and unload the intersection with Mezhigorskaya. And near the metro again, we intend to do a pedestrian area.

The hem is turned backwards

Next year I want Hem to make the most pedestrian. This proposal was supported at the recent public hearings of the Metropolitan government. It is planned to completely block the passage of transit transport on Kontraktova square in front of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Motorists will have to go around the Students at Voloshskaya str. Also move the final stop of the trams towards Lukyanovka.

“The hem will appear transport interchange point. Bus stations will move to St. Saviour, and the final stop of the trams will return to Kontraktova square to the street, where it once was. Thus, you get a completely pedestrian zone, but with tram rails”, – the chief specialist of Department of transport infrastructure of Kyiv city state administration Victor Petruk

In addition, according to him, will change the traffic on the embankment of the Dnieper. “There will be new traffic lights at the crossroads Naberezhno-Khreschatytska Horeb. Left turn on St. Saviour close, and Gorevoy open. This should remove constantly arising in the morning, a tube that starts with Naberezhno-Khreschatytska street, in the center and towards the hem,” says Petruk.

Traffic on the street of Voloshskaya, which now goes towards Naberezhno-Khreschatytska street, according to plans will be deployed in the opposite direction — in the direction of the Shafts. “So the traffic that now comes from St. Elias to Mezhigorskaya, will go for the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy, voloska str. This will relieve the intersection of mezhyhirska St. and walnut, which are constantly in traffic jams. The last phase contract will be fully pedestrian,” said Petruk. Travel will continue from St. Constantine for protection.

According to the head of the Council of urban Kiev Gregory Melnichuk, the overlap of transit in front of the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy will improve the transport situation on the hem. “Unloaded the intersection of the Shafts and Mezhigorskaya, and loaded voloska. Moreover, citizens and tourists will have free access to the whole historical-architectural complex of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Will work in a similar way on the Lviv Rynok Square,” says Melnychuk.

However, not without criticism. So, according to transport expert Konstantin Tikhomirov, the main problem of this model is the inability of the narrow streets of Podil to large traffic flows. “Voloska not designed to move that quantity of transport which will be allowed from Naberezhno-Khreschatytska street, after a change of direction. Therefore, it will form tubes”, — said the expert.

On Bessarabka is a pedestrian zone

In addition, the authorities returned to the idea of overlapping building Skoropadsky — the passage between the Bessarabian market and “Arena city”. As have informed “News” in the authorities ‘ plans to make it pedestrian, freeing up space for cyclists and visitors cafe. “Circuit simulation of traffic management financed by the German charity Fund”, — said the Department of transport.

At the same time, the Director of “Kievdormostproekt” Vladimir Vorobiev sure to close the passage between “Arena-city” and market means to create a traffic jam in the center. “According to calculations, the right turn from the Boulevard. Shevchenko on Bolshaya Vasilkovskaya instead of a direct movement reduces the bandwidth in half. Will stand and Blvd. Shevchenko, Khreschatyk and other streets. Need to get out of the city, the transit traffic traveling through the center, and then take crucial decisions,” — said Vorobyov.
