“Every morning we stand in traffic”: Penzenka complained about the work of traffic lights in Ternivka

Morning traffic jams are a common problem for many Penza motorists. However, it is especially unpleasant when a significant part of the time has to be spent on overcoming a relatively small section of the road. This situation, according to a local resident, is faced daily by drivers in the area of Ternovka. She said this in comments on the page of the Governor of the Penza region Oleg Melnichenko in the social network.

Penzenka drew attention to the work of traffic lights on Ternovsky Street. According to her, two traffic lights located about 20 meters from each other work inconsistently: while one lights a green signal, the other already lights up red. As a result, cars are forced to stop and traffic slows down.

“How can you get to work on time?” the woman said.

According to her, the road from Cuba to Bauman Street takes about 40 minutes a day. A resident asked city services to review the operation of traffic lights to reduce waiting time.

The appeal was responded by representatives of the Department of housing and communal services of the city of Penza. They agreed that during peak hours, increased traffic flow puts additional strain on road infrastructure and leads to congestion. However, the Ministry explained that the current scheme of road traffic is considered optimal for the current intensity of traffic.

Specialists of the Safe Region GBU are constantly monitoring traffic situations, monitoring the occurrence of possible congestion. If necessary, promptly make adjustments to the work of traffic lights, the department stressed.

That answer didn't suit the Penzac. She noted that the daily 40-minute delays indicated that the existing scheme was not coping with the transport load.

“As you can see, if you have to spend 40 minutes on a single site, this is not optimal for your current traffic volume.” Please pay attention to this, wrote the citizen.

In response, representatives of the Housing and Utilities Department again reported that the specialists of the Safe Region daily monitor the traffic situation and promptly make changes to the work of traffic lights.

At the same time, the citizen was offered to contact the institution directly - personally at the address: Penza, District Street, building 3B. Or call: (8412) 20-93-94.

Judging by the answers of the department, the experts do not yet see the grounds for reviewing the current traffic scheme, and the question of the work of traffic lights on Ternovsky Street remains open. In the meantime, motorists who regularly pass through Ternivka during peak hours can only take into account possible delays when planning trips.
