Алматы планирует ограничить въезд старых авто

Arnaga tirkel / Subscribe to the channel:    / @thesevennews   Almaty residents are heatedly discussing the authorities' bold initiative to save the ecology of the metropolis. The Akimat proposes to restrict entry into the city center for old cars. Cars with an environmental class lower than Euro-5 will be able to drive only after payment. And with the money collected from the owners of old cars, officials plan to buy used cars and encourage owners to buy new ones. The project is under discussion, but has already generated a lot of controversy. Not all Almaty residents support this idea. Albina Onerbaeva listened to the opinions of the city residents. More than half a million cars drive along the streets of Almaty every day, 700 thousand are officially registered, and the same number enter the metropolis from the neighboring regions. It turns out that almost one and a half million cars move around Almaty every day. The figure is colossal. According to experts, over two hundred thousand tons of pollutants accumulate in the air per year. Half of this amount is produced by motor vehicles. This year, the authorities proposed to change the situation radically by restricting entry into the city center for old American cars manufactured since 2010, and Korean and Japanese cars manufactured since 2013. The plans so far include testing the project in pilot mode. MIRAS GAISIN - HEAD OF THE ECOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT OF ALMATY The pilot project will be implemented free of charge, that is, the rates will be zero, entry will not be restricted. We want to conduct this pilot project on individual main streets, that is, the pilot project will show us in general what the burden will be on businesses and the population. Based on the results of the pilot project, but this is after the end of the year, from next year we plan to introduce separate paid zones. Almaty residents themselves have different attitudes to this idea. Some support restrictions for the sake of improving the environment. Others believe that the proposed measures will hit those who cannot afford a new car. There is nothing to breathe in the city, old cars come from the villages. They pollute the city with old cars. This has been done in Europe for a long time. There are a lot of us. In order to change our fleet, we need new cars. The population does not have that kind of money to buy such new cars I am against it. We do not have the money to buy new cars. Let them buy us new cars and that's it. We feed our children with these cars. Almaty, of course, is not a pioneer in this direction and similar initiatives have already been implemented in the world. In particular, toll entry has long been in effect in such large capitals as London, Beijing, Paris and Tokyo. But are we ready for such innovations? ARSEN SHAKOV – PRESIDENT OF THE ASSOCIATION "COMMON ROAD" Almaty is included in the rating of some of the dirtiest cities in the world. With such a bell, with such a bell. It is possible and necessary to apply some unpopular measures. Restrictions on entry of cars of the wrong class or those cars that smoke, roughly speaking. This is the right decision. Experts also note the need for complete transparency of the project. EDUARD EDOKOV - CHAIRMAN OF THE INDEPENDENT AUTOMOBILE UNION You can't cut off the heat of the moment, you need to do it gradually and wisely. As openly as possible, all the money that will be collected for entry into these zones. Quarterly on the website of the akimat, directly separately, so much has been spent, there must be targeted allocations. Not somewhere there. But exclusively for the purchase of electric vehicles, for the development of electric filling stations, for landscaping. Exclusively so that we can all breathe easier. ALBINA ONERBAYEVA - CORRESPONDENT Residents of Almaty noticed the effect of the reduction in cars during the pandemic. When the traffic on the streets suddenly decreased, and there were far fewer people walking around. So, the air very quickly became cleaner than usual, as a native Almaty resident, I noticed this right away. But then it was a forced measure. And now such questions arise: will the restrictions violate the rights of citizens? Is the public transport infrastructure ready for this step? And are Euro-5 class cars so safe? Obviously, all these issues need a broad discussion to make the right decision, taking into account the interests of all parties. -------------------------------------------- Official website of the "Seventh Channel" https://tv7.kz/ru/ Instagram:   / tv7_kz   TikTok:   / tv7_kz   Facebook:   / tv7kz   Telegram: https://t.me/tv7_kaz #News #News2025 #Newsseventhchannel #Zhetinshiarna #seventhchannel #7channel
