Putin approved the turn on Red
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has approved the idea to turn right under the red light if there is a special sign and no interference. The initiative was presented by the head of the Moscow Center for Control of Traffic with Cork Alexander Shumsky, who demonstrated to the PM the proposal in action, setting a real traffic light with an additional metal pointer in the form of a green arrow. B. Vladimir Putin and Head of the Moscow Center for Control of Traffic Cork A. At present, a number of countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, South Korea and Ukraine, are allowed to turn to the red light. According to the specialists of the Moscow Center for Control of Traffic, this practice allows to reduce the congestion by 15% and increase the cost saving by 10%, with the additional sign-the index does not require electricity and does not need servicing. The idea was so good for Putin that he took a mobile phone and immediately telephoned Victor Kiryanov, the deputy interior minister for transport security, and gave instructions to work out the issue in detail, adding that there was nothing to experiment with. "Ukraine has already experimented with us." There are concerns that the permitted red light may increase the number of accidents and does not correspond to the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. However, Germany and Ukraine, also signatories to the Convention, have introduced this rule in their countries, and there is no reason why Russia cannot do the same. And, for example, in Canada, where they were afraid of the increase in the number of accidents due to the resolution of the turn on red, nothing of the kind was recorded. According to Alexander Shumsky, the head of the Moscow Center for Control of Traffic, the fate has made us such a gift-research, and the experiments have already been done, we have only to implement this decision. In July, the Moscow Center for Control of Traffic jams presented the program "Road paradoxes", which provided more than 100 most ridiculous examples of transport infrastructure management. The programme is currently under consideration at the Moscow Road Traffic Management Centre.
