Пробки в Якутске на улице Лермонтова?

#traffic jams #yakutsk #traffic police Incorrectly configured traffic lights create congestion, forcing drivers to wait at empty intersections. Optimizing traffic cycles can increase road capacity by 15-20% without the need to build new interchanges. Here's how specific traffic light parameters affect traffic: "Green wave": Synchronizing adjacent traffic lights allows traffic to pass several intersections in a row without stopping at a red light. Cycle length (phases): If the green light is on too long, traffic begins to accumulate at the next junction. If it's too short, cars don't have time to pass, creating a tailback at the intersection. Uneven distribution: Ignoring the traffic ratio (for example, when 80% of cars travel on a major road, but they are given the same amount of green time as a secondary road) instantly paralyzes traffic. Adaptive control: Modern smart traffic lights use sensors to analyze traffic density in real time, automatically adjusting the duration of the phases. On Lermontov Street in Yakutsk (one of the city's main and busiest transport arteries), traffic light settings critically impact traffic conditions. Due to the high traffic density, city services actively use this street as a testing ground for new modes. Here's how traffic light control features impact congestion on Lermontov Street: 1. Testing the "Green Wave" To combat congestion, city authorities have implemented a test traffic light coordination system ("green wave") along a key section of the street, approximately 2.5 km long, from the intersection with Krasilnikova Street to Vilyuisky Lane. How it impacts: If drivers maintain the recommended average speed of 40 km/h, the system allows drivers to travel this long stretch without stopping at red lights, minimizing congestion at intersections. 2. Experiments with a Pedestrian Phase In early 2026, a separate pedestrian phase (where the green light is on simultaneously for all pedestrians, and all vehicles are stopped) was launched at the busy intersections of Lermontov-Kirov and Lermontov-Sverdlov. Impact: Although pedestrian safety improved, this decision increased traffic congestion due to the reduced time for vehicles to move. As a result, in the spring of 2026, the traffic lights at these intersections were reverted to their standard operation to reduce congestion. 3. Integration into the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). Traffic lights on Lermontov are gradually being connected to a unified digital network. Detectors are being installed at the intersections that monitor vehicle flow in real time. Impact: The system automatically adjusts the duration of the phases. For example, during morning and evening rush hours, it can give priority to cars traveling along Lermontov, cutting green light times for adjacent secondary streets to avoid “blocking” the highway.
