Vitaly Korolev reported an increase in the time of the phase of traffic lights for pedestrians at the intersection in Tver

In Tver, at the intersection of Gorky and Blagoev streets, the time of the traffic light phase for pedestrians has been increased, Governor Vitaly Korolev said.

The issue was raised by a resident of Tver on November 5 during the Direct Line of the head of the Tver region. Crossing the road in just 18 seconds is not easy, especially for elderly people.

“I went to the place and made sure of a fair remark,” Vitaly Korolev wrote in MAX.

Now at this intersection, the time for pedestrians has been increased to 23 seconds. A three-second delay before the transport cycle was added, i.e. a total of 26 seconds. The order of the resident of Tver was fulfilled, but the governor noted that the issue should be looked at more broadly.

“I instructed the responsible agencies to analyze the working hours of all traffic lights in the city, pay special attention to places where there is a large flow of pedestrians, as well as intersections leading to social institutions,” said Vitaly Korolev.
