First real bike lanes in Moscow!
Bashny.Net
In Moscow for the first time will have real bike lanes. "As for the first time? Was already of the bike lane!" — you will object. Yes, there was, but they served a decorative function, or event. Paths in parks and on the quays is very good, but for those who use the bike not for walking, as an alternative to car or public transport, need more bike paths.
Meet good news! Until the end of June on the Boulevard ring will appear on the city's first bike lane, not the track, and it band. Although it was initially planned to launch it in early summer.
However, in the experiment, it will take place not around the ring and not ring in fact, and in the area from Nikita to Chistoprudny Boulevard. The experiment will cover Tver, Passionate, Petrovsky, Christmas and Sretensky boulevards. Cyclists can ride on the outer and on the inner side of the Boulevard ring.
In Moscow only this year adopted amendments to the Rules of the road and fixed the terms "cycle lane" and "light path". A cycle lane is allocated on the roadway, and ride through it on bicycles and mopeds.
The total length of bike lanes will be about 9 km: 4, 5 km in each direction Boulevard. And it will be connected to bikeways that will appear in the same year at the Bolshaya and Malaya Nikitskaya, ulitsa Myasnitskaya streets. By the way, in addition to these streets in 2015, Cycling will acquire Malaya Bronnaya, Mytnaya, lyusinovskaya street, Novodevichy embankment, Novodevichy travel and Bolshaya Ordynka.
It certainly is not Amsterdam with multi-cycle paths, traffic lights and multi-tier Parking for cyclists, but still better than nothing.
As I said, the long-awaited bike lane is implemented in a pilot mode. What does it mean? As such, the overhaul will not. For starters, the city authorities want to see how comfortable both for cyclists and for pedestrians and motorists test strip and how it is used. In principle, this is logical, given the different visions of arrangement of the Bicycle space. Besides, additional funds will not need a cycle lane will be performed by the layout within the existing road network.
The traffic has not changed — the location of cycle lanes will be achieved by changing the width of existing lanes. The Bicycle lane will be located along the curb, next to separate the buffer zone. Then is car Parking or a lane of traffic.
And yet throughout cycle lanes replaced by a lattice of sewers with longitudinal to diagonal. This is necessary in order to wheel the cyclist didn't hit the bars.
And now there are two versions of the device: delineators (artificial border) to separate the area from the Parking lot without them. In the first phase, within two weeks, I will try to do without delineation. If motorists are going to pretend not to notice the bike zone, and will Park on it, then the dividers and set.
Not only that, she appear, a cycle lane will be established and appropriate informational signs. First, they are useful for the cyclists: warn about fare zones Parking, stopping areas for public transport or, for example, inform about the location of the stations citywide rental. Secondly, motorists now should be more careful and also to bear in mind these signs, which warn of the entrance to the area with a Bicycle lane, a reminder of the need to give way to cyclist when turning.
And a note to motorists: traffic on the bike path and lane are subject to a penalty of 2000 rubles (read part 2.St.12.15 the new administrative code). The traffic police promise that further follow up on the Boulevard.
And such dangerous areas like the crossing of a street or alley, designated travel along the public transport, will be celebrated with a coating of dark-red color from the cold plastic with sand for maximum grip.
Last project in the "pilot" until November. During this time special counters (similar to those installed on the Frunzenskaya embankment) will record the number of cyclists using the lane. And if the numbers will be impressive, and the experiment is successful, then next year the government will carry out capital construction of cycle lanes. So, my friends on two-wheeled ride, not lazy, fixate!
